Hi Peter,

I hope I'm not being pedantic here - the code *has* been updated "only"
5 years ago[0] - yes, I know ;^) The fact that the software had not seen
a *release* for over 11 years is the main issue here as OpenBSD ports
maintainers don't tend to do ports which rely on vcs snapshots - a fact
which has been mentioned not so long ago[1].

Ahh..., yes - that's the actual link I had in mind :^)

Raf
