   Hi mark!

    The commits need to be there in order to 'revert' to them, and they're not;    
   at least not in the repo checkout ("clone") that I have.   
   I'll just need to get with them (Andrew and Vince) about it.

    True.   
      
      
    ml> i always hate it when i install something via apt that i

    In general, a distros' package manager is for installing things for system    
   wide use, not just a particular user...
