 I didn't think of it that way, rather the svn modifying the date of the
 last binary release date. Anyway I've changed the port to reflect the port
 date.[[BR]]

 Also fixed this.[[BR]]

 of Reduce and PSL in sync.`" I'm not sure what's meant by this—what
 specific action one is supposed to take—since, as far as I can see, there
 is to be only this one single reduce portfile, and it only has a single
 version line and a single svn.revision line.

 Removed comment.[[BR]]

 I wonder if I should add a comment about previous versions of Texlive
 breaking reduce-common?
