P.S. There was previously another RFS #1022747 but it got closed because
the package sat in Mentors too long with no
tch to use the GitHub generated tarball?
Yeah, I saw that but I was hoping they would add it later, it's just
very nice to have something that is signed by them. Alas, I have changed
to the GitHub generated tarball in my latest upload.
