+## Sensibill 
+The reason for this self-contained distro and torch repository is to fix the allocation erros introduced by commit 6a35cd9a7073ec16596afb7116ecef5802844f30 from the main torch/torch7 repo which affected torch.TYPEStorage. 
 
-#### NOTE: Torch is not actively developed anymore and is in maintenance mode.
