Will do, thanks.

Any idea what this error is about? Perhaps I'm doing something stupid...

[marco at localhost F-9]$ make chain-build CHAIN="sugar-toolkit"
Packages in destination tag dist-f9-updates-candidate are not inherited 
by build tag dist-f9-build
Target dist-f9-updates-candidate is not usable for a chain-build
make: *** [chain-build] Error 1

(I resorted to a little hack to build sugar-journal since I needed it 
urgently, but I'd still like to learn how to do this properly)

Cheers,
Marco
