As it's very time consuming to find the relevant previous threads. So, could someone give us more information of the state of the project ? (general expected workflow, technical issues, etc) A brief abstract would be very much appreciated. I've read the above link. Now, I know about the Manifest issue. Also, did you had information on how git hosted overlays work ? Thanks, -- Nicolas Sebrecht
