I've been sorta unmotivated to update dark lately, but I'm going to prepare a new release now for fun sakes.

Edit: Scratch that.

Why not just patch with ck then put the extra patches over it?

Because dark sources doesn't include all that Con offers, and some of the extra patches don't always compile cleanly and need manual changes. Also, since predatorfreak uses FreeBSD on his machine, he can't very well test dark-sources.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

heh, I actually named this after the Salvador Dali painting Giraffe on Fire, which is also called The flaming giraffe, for some odd reason.

Edit: Typo's from hell.
