Hello everyone,

joneum@ is right here! here we have 2 issues:

1/ A simple technical one: the package has changed and such it deserves a bump
of portrevision.

2/ The other one, is the following, while we have a blanket for fixes and
framework changes adaptations, it does not include upgrades even simple ones.
And we have to at least send a heads up to the maintainear anyway.

(Yes I know I sometime myself forget about the maintainer heads up and I am
trying to fix myself)

Also mistake can happen, because someone wants to go fast or for any $reason,
if so, then it is important to be reactive.

Here a bump of the portrevision should have been pushed quickly after the
maintainer pointed at the error.

Last acknowledging the issue is part of what we can expect from a committer.

Best regards,
Bapt
