Most of my mail was from frustration, such as changing from_release
to limit download to 2.18 and that not producing the intended effect;
such as waiting on a idle screen while the network was pounding on
something.

'jhbuild update meta-gnome-desktop' will just download and uncompress
all archives; the idea came out when I had to fix gftp.py:

-        cmd = ['tar', '--strip-components=1', '-C', dst, '-xzf', 'arc']
+        cmd = ['tar', '--strip-components=1', '-C', dst, '-xzf', arc]

it may not be the best idea but I was really frustrated by then :)


Anyway, I can now work on indexes without building everything so I am
happy the way it is.
