+# Maintainer's Notes:
+#
+# Minor updates:
+#  1. Edit ./manifest.sh to point to the updated URL. Upstream sometimes
+#     releases updates that include only the changed packages; in this case,
+#     multiple URLs can be provided and the results will be merged.
+#  2. Run ./manifest.sh and ./dependencies.sh.
+#  3. Build and enjoy.
+#
+# Major updates:
+#  We prefer not to immediately overwrite older versions with major updates, so
+#  make a copy of this directory first. After copying, be sure to delete ./tmp
+#  if it exists. Then follow the minor update instructions.

+    Disable libinput integration if >= 0.8 is found
+    
+    libinput 0.8 is incompatible causing the build to fail. As we are in
+    dependency freeze the only option is to disable the build.
