Re: Any big problem? [WAS: Re: GNOME 3.1.4 unstable release -- walters-mclasen]

Sorry for being snarky by the way...I just find the whole process
frustrating becuase I spend so much time making sure git is constantly
buildable and usable, and stuff like this is basically pure pointless
overhead.  (At least for an unstable module like polkit.   For glib
rolling a tarball has an actual point because that's when we commit to
new API being stable - forever.   But that's not the case here.)

Anyways it's also my fault being late on the GNOME release, but help
is appreciated.
