Re: Eel and Nautilus 2.2.2 Released

[Neil Weisenfeld <weisen+nautilus ai mit edu>]

Looks fantastic!

One niggle that may be my misunderstanding of things
auto{make,conf,etc.}:

It looks like the .spec file distributed with the tarball is hosed.  At
least, there's a lot of substitution from the .spec.in that didn't
happen.

Neil
