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. :-)
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...
