 * satoshi -- what's the correct protocol for this?  i put a patch for a
 * similar upgrade to vile/xvile in incoming on freefall some time ago (and
 * sent mail to the list), but nothing has happened with it.  i've been
 * keeping the old version of vile (5.2) available at the master site, until
 * i'm sure the ports tree is updated.  of course, the ports tree would get
 * updated more quickly if i simply removed the old version, because then it
 * would break, and someone would fix it.  :-)

Actually, it will help a lot if you can keep the old version until the 
*release* with the new version ships.  That would be around
August.... ;)

 * what should i be doing differently?  i spoke to justin (i think) at usenix
 * about it, and he suggested that i just get an account on freefall.  while
 * i'm happy to do that, it seems like overkill, since this kind of release
 * number upgrade would be my only involvement...

Sorry, you are doing nothing wrong, your message just showed up when I 
was horrendously busy and nobody else picked it up.  Will look at it
as soon as possible.

By the way, if you want to do the maintenance yourself, I have no
problem at all creating an account for you, who can be a better
maintainer than the author himself! :)

Satoshi
