+Has there been any more discussion/progress on E17 at mga? I have finally
+merged all the UnityLinux specs up with Mandriva.
+
+We've always maintained a fuller suite of E17 pkgs and there are
+instructions to boot on how to do svn trunk checkouts and tarballing of the
+sources.
+
+Anyone interested in doing a cross mdv<>mga maintainership of E17?
