Maybe if we get scoundrel to swing his hammer, OnlyHuman will give up his secrets!
Seriously, though, I've done some "unauthorized" compiles a few times in the past. I usually have no problem with it.
Except, my e17 desktop is my main box and I really don't want to bork it. e17 is already "bleeding-edge", you know?
Why don't we do this? Get in contact with OnlyHuman and see what package he compiled from. I'll bet it's the OpenSuse one from github. See this page:
http://en.opensuse.org/EcomorphIf we know where to start, we could put in a package request. Waddya think?
