I rather have that you deploy the previous stable. I hope to get an alpha out soon. Could a README.packagers or equivalent help to clarify the state of a project?\r\n\r\n> I think in general it is a good idea to at least have some basic functionality tested that does not need extra data.\r\n\r\nAgree and this is work in progress, but portability is a challenge here and I cannot say I'm too enthusiastic about the existing test frameworks out there."}}
