Hi FTP Masters, Folly is part of HHVM[1] and both used inside Facebook. I wanted a separate package that HHVM would depend on. With the collate below with FB developers, I realized it doesn't stand on its own. Please reject it from the NEW queue. HHVM will contain the Folly git snapshot that works for them. Neither the best path, but I do hope it will be mature with time. I will package it then.
Thanks and sorry for the noise.
