It is terrific.  Thanks for that.

My first question: is the tarball above already official?

My second question relates to this:

Waht do you mean by "updating an upstream tarball"?  Do you release it
with another version number?

I think this is a good idea.  BTW, is Joerg still participating to the
development?

What would be the alternative option?

Why not?
