Hi Kai,

On 2021-08-06 21:38:20, you wrote to me:

I am?

And that process isn't very well documented in my opinion.

Wouldn't that be nice! ;)

But you would have to convince a lot of distribution maintainers to support husky, just for maybe a few hundred (at best) users... Ain't gona happen.

It is for me.

Is that documented? ;-)


Bye, Wilfred.
