For a few minor changes like these, I'd retained v1.12 and bumped port revision only. Creating new versions so early might clash in the future, if original developer decides to resume the project, or officially give it up to another third party. We typically do not want our users or fellow package maintainers from other distributions to become confused as to which is the *one true* version 1.13 (or 1.14, 1.15, 2.0, etc.). ./danfe
