Lenz Grimmer's blog

JFYI, I recently updated several packages in my home:LenzGr and the devel:tools:scm repositories of the openSUSE Build Service:

• bzr (Version 0.18)
• darcs (Version 1.0.9)
• google-perftools (Version 0.92)
• KeyJnote (Version 0.10.0)
• Mercurial (Version 0.9.4)

Enjoy! And Kudos to the folks that develop and maintain the build service, this is a great service to the Community.
