Hmm, there's been a lot going on today :-)

Just a quick question :

I grew tired of repeatedly downloading the Tar archive from Github, especially as it was often out of date (though less so, strangely than the Zip). Then untarring, renaming, etc.

So like you & grog I apt-get-installed git-core and learned the two commands needed to clone & update GRead on my N900 (first time I ever used a VCS :-).

Seems to work quite well, and makes it much easier to keep up.

The only unpleasant part is that the git-core package does not seem to be "optified" : apt-get pulled in about 7 Megs, and after that my free rootfs was down by roughly the same amount...

Is there any way around that ?
