Yes, as long if anyone want to take the maintainership and send it to PR  
for request the repo copy (fluxbox -> fluxbox-old, fluxbox01 or whatever)  
just as I said (you stripped out) in my previous email. I will not object  
on this, but it's up to portmgr too if they approve.

I personal rather to wait until it's offical released by the developers.  
Styles that come with the tarball are out of date and few other small  
things could use to fix. I am sure that the developers will update/fix the  
styles in the final.

That kind of half war is kind of silly if you ask me ;-), but I only agree  
about 'foobar' without number should be offical version/stable one unless  
it's something special like gnome2/kde3/libxml2. Anyway, I doubt we will  
have another war for fluxbox.

Cheers,
