Hi James,

is this still curent? I suffered some personal fubar, thus my late reply :(

Do you have a source package ready to look at? Is ohmd still the daemon to 
use?

Thanks. Vcs-pseudoheaders are something like this:

Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/sugar-calculate-activity.git
Vcs-Browser: 
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/sugar-calculate-activity.git;a=summary

Instead of Git you can use any other vcs...

I'm still willing to help, and I should also be able to fullfil this promise 
now.

Yes, i think so.
