Re: history of buildinstall.functions

Hello,

Lorax has it's own git repo, and as I understand, it should be a separate package,
not a part of anaconda.

Here's lorax web https://fedorahosted.org/lorax/

But I'm working on some changes now, so it's a little broken, and I have to fix it,
before commiting the new stuff, so the git repo has old stuff. :)
