Good to have somebody who knows. I'm a bit of a 'grass roots' man, so I wouldn't recommend *against* a standard ./configure && make approach, but I would too recommend Thomas' approach. And once we have a git mirror set up (it hasn't been forgotten!) he'll be able to give his even groovier instructions. (I'll be using hg-git, as that is the right direction for me, of course. I don't know whether git-remote-hg will do a lossless conversion like hg-git does, or one compatible with hg-git's conversion, but that is something to keep an eye on, too.) > That's one thing I always find annoying with MLMMJ.

There's only one, isn't there (asks the maintainer, who probably should know...)? I agree, it is unconventional for a script designed to be run by a user. Generally only scripts used as intermediate steps in a build, or something like that, that are generally sourced, not executed, have the .sh extension. I don't mind changing it, though will keep a symlink for a while for compatibility. Likewise with mlmmj-receive. I've got to find that patch someone made for that. Ben.
