+# A longish note on versions because I will forget:
+# This ebuild fetches tarballs from github instead of using cros-workon
+# because having a system-level package using git clone to fetch sources
+# adds new ways for bootstrapping to fail. Also ${PN} needs to have a
+# one-to-one relationship with git commits to make mirroring/caching work.
+# - The version field is the date of the last upstream commit.
+# - Use patch (_p) instead of revision (-r) when updating the git hash.
+# So: 20130722_p1 includes upstream up through July with one CoreOS patch.
