Subject: [sup-talk] Workaround for sup-config crash in 0.4 on some platforms

Some users have been having trouble where sup-config crashes on a stock
0.4 install.  While updating to git is supposed to correct this problem,
many people won't want to go to that effort just to see if sup even
works.  For them, this workaround:

1. Create and edit ~/.sup/config.yaml to contain the following:

-------------------- SNIP HERE --------------------
---
:accounts:
  :default:
    :name: foo
    :email: foo at bar
-------------------- SNIP HERE --------------------

2. Run sup-config as normal.

Hope this helps somebody.

Guess that means it's time to release an 0.5!

Good idea.

I've just confirmed that this problem is fixed in 'master' on my Gentoo
system.

I've merged pretty much everything that's been sitting in next into
master, in preparation for 0.5. Expect it soon.

I've also just published a "bugs" branch for tracking issues and
versions with ditz.
