i was thinking that we could remove the tag when the non-cdbs using packages 
were uploaded.  but if you want to remove it in your next version, thats 
totally fine.  we should just come up with some kind of way to differentiate 
between your versions and mine.   how about you start doing simply -N, where n 
is an incrementing integer, and if i need to make changes in your -N i'll do 
a -(N+1)~something (otherwise i'll just upload your version directly).

aha.

i don't have any particular confidence at *any* release of compiz etc being 
incredibly stable, so i say it's fine for using git snapshots for the time 
being, as long as the versioning system doesn't mess up when we switch to 
a "stable" version.

the important thing though is that the packages themselves are in good shape, 
for whatever version of the code we use.

anyway, thanks for your efforts!
