Here goes new version of gaim port. It's based on today's CVS

I think we shouldn't use CVS versions for ports when the current stable
version works just fine. Besides, the CVS version is very unusable IMO.

Just posting it to the list does not mean it'll be going into the ports tree.
Besides, I've been running the snapshot and IMO it very much is useable. A beta
will be out in a weeks time and a release within 2 months or so. This is a good
time to try out the next release to see where things sit and to try and get
whatever issues you run into fixed before the release, not after.
I would have to agree, the CVS version is most unstable. For example,
try using the tray icon plugin.
If you are interested in creating/maintaining ports, you should start by
looking at the first bullet found at
http://www.openbsd.org/porting.html#Security I quote it below in case
anyone is lazy:
"Do /not/ use alpha or beta code when preparing a port. Use the
latest regular or patch release."
I think that pretty much says it.
