Comment:

 Thanks.

 You've named this new port unison32, but since the version of this port is
 2.32.52 it seems best to name the port unison232. Does that sound ok to
 you?

 Since this situation of needing the same version of unison on the client
 and server seems destined to continue, we should replace the existing
 unison port with a unison240 port, and in future add new ports if new
 versions of unison are released. The version of unison240 should be
 2.40.63, since that is the stable version, not 2.40.65, since according to
 #35116 that one is not stable and does not work right. The new unison232
 and unison240 ports must have their install locations changed so that they
 do not conflict with one another. The existing unison port can be kept as
 a stub port marked as replaced_by unison240 to facilitate upgrades.

 The whitespace of the existing unison port (and this unison232 port) does
 not conform to the modeline. I'd like to make an initial commit to fix the
 whitespace to conform to our guidelines. Then we can copy it to make the
 new ports.

 You indicated you'd like to maintain this new unison232 port. Would you
 like to maintain the new unison240 port and the unison stub port as well?
 Since you are not a committer it would make things easier if we would make
 the ports openmaintainer as well, so that we would not need to ask your
 approval before making minor changes such as version updates. Let me know
 if that's ok with you.

 There are some probably unintended differences between this new unison232
 port and the existing unison port, such as the missing license line and
 the missing description of the aqua variant. The livecheck of the new
 unison232 and unison240 ports should be changed to only find stable
 versions of those respective branches, or turned off if no new releases of
 that branch are expected.

 I will investigate whether it might be simpler to implement the unison232
 and unison240 ports as subports of the unison port; this would eliminate
 the need to manually keep separate portfiles synchronized.

 I can work on these various issues tomorrow, if you have no objections,
 and I'll attach new Portfiles here for your contemplation.
