Hi all,

This bears repeating: the release team will no longer maintain JHBuild 
or the JHBuild modulesets. When adding or removing a dependency from 
your module, please now update gnome-build-meta instead.

JHBuild has served us very well for a long time, but BuildStream should 
be much more reliable. Thanks very much to Tristan and Codethink for 
making this transition possible!

(Of course, you can still use jhbuild and commit to the jhbuild 
modulesets if you want to. Just please don't expect the release team to 
review your patches anymore.)

Thanks and happy hacking,

Michael
