Yes, we plan to do a 1.9.0 release very soon, at the same time (or near) 
the 1.7.3 release.

Everyone else working on the code works on HEAD, possibly backporting to 
FREESIDE_1_7_BRANCH when applicable.  We don't work on branches without 
first checking changes onto HEAD.

If you want to contribute outside the rpm/ directory, you need to follow 
our development practices: you should ensure that you check your changes 
onto HEAD.

If you're only contributing inside your rpm/ directory, you can work 
like this (on branches rather than on HEAD) if you choose to, I guess.

I'm wary of keeping this stuff in the tree without an active maintainer 
(or team) **who can keep up with development**.  I don't think the 
current state of things is a viable long-term solution.

I guess we'll see if anyone else steps up to help you maintain the RPM 
packaging and port it to HEAD, or if you are able to spare enough time 
to keep it up-to-date, and revisit in the future.
