Hello Michael,

Thanks for this patch. Did you change something to the way you are
sending patches? I have troubles to apply them, with errors such as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Applying: gnu: Add rttr.

This field is traditionally at the end of the package definition, right
before synopsis.

You could elaborate on why they are not enabled. Something to fix in particular?

There are a couple of linting warnings on this description. No need to
mention that it's open source :).

Thanks,

Mathieu
