 If you have another update that requires a rebuild, then sure -- with the
 reservation, of course, that this port is not openmaintainer and lists
 someone else as the maintainer -- someone who has not yet weighed in on
 this ticket.

 Responding to the earlier comment about using a development version at
 all, I agree it has been awhile since a stable release of atlas, and if
 there were problems with the stable release, and this development release
 fixes them, then ok, let's keep it. I was just surprised that the update
 was committed by someone who is not this port's maintainer, and there was
 no ticket or discussion that I could find explaining the decision. If you
 believe James is not maintaining this port satisfactorily, then you should
 discuss with him taking it over, or co-maintaining it with him, or asking
 him to make it openmaintainer, or something. If you cannot reach James,
 the port abandonment procedure can be followed; it is listed in the Guide.
 James had some email difficulties (mail bouncing) a few weeks back; if you
 had trouble contacting him before, maybe try again.

 We should also encourage the developers of atlas to make more frequent
 stable releases so we don't have to keep using unstable versions in the
 future.
