There is only one detail: the upstream patch is wrong. It was diffed

You can verify by diffing the old tarball against the new one and
comparing to http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~arun/mustang/ patch_15Jan2008.mustang

The description on the web page is wrong. And I was wrong in saying that I used the old tarball. In fact I am using the "new tarball" md5: 883bd27b7ce9681476008089e769aa50. However, it does _not_ contain the patches in the file "patch_15Jan2008.mustang", but it _does_ contain some changes relative to the older tarball. The manpage I contributed is one thing I remember.

The patch file applies without problems to tarball 883bd...etc... so that is the one we should build against. I simply wrapped the patchfile "patch_15Jan2008.mustang" with a dpatch header and called it 01-upstream.dpatch.

It really is confusing when upstream authors don't use a sensible versioning! :-/

Anyhow, I hope this clarifies things. I'm kinda fading for tonight, I hope there aren't more things I've forgotten!

Cheers,
Morten
