17 I've not yet used overlays or layman; can I beg for a quick summary

22 Back when I ran slackware, there were some packages which I always
23 updated immediately because they were always good code: fvwm and
24 postgresql were among them. I know postgresql lags some, which is

27 better way of requesting that?
