It's been two weeks.  Please add an ebuild for 2.0.9 to give
interested users of catalyst the chance to check it out.  If you feel
it's too "hot" for mass consumption please mask it one way
(package.mask) or another (KEYWORDS="").

For the future I propose we really release releases (i.e. git tag,
tarball and and ebuild) or to make no release tag if if there is no
release.  For plain testing a git-describe-like label and a snapshot
should be sufficient to my understanding:

  # git describe --tags | sed 's|^CATALYST-||'
  2.0.9-262-gb3a0ffb

Thanks!

Best,



Sebastian
