Any particular issues with it?

I just released LaternaMagica, if you care to update that one too.

Would you mind adding FTP from GAP ?

If some packages have "no home" but are deemed useful, it might be 
interesting to import them in e.g. gnustep-nonfsf or GAP and merge the 
patches in or maybe even just in github to give them a home, if they are 
apps of "general".

I see you package Jishyo. Does it "work" for you? E.g. search for egg.

Rob Burns imported it into GAP a while ago and it received a couple of 
build patches, but it doesn't work for me and Rob "disappeared" so no 
further work was done. Maybe you have patches to share? Look up in the 
dictionary generates an NSLog but no user output in the window.
