unison outdated?

[Joerg van den Hoff]

hello,

currently `macports' provides `unison' version 2.57.2
while the recommendation of its principal author on the
unison help list is "use version 2.31 or higher" if someone
complains about unison being redicously slow in certain situations
(which it is...).

question: would it be possible to update the maports version, irrespective
of whether the version is declared officially stable -- it is not at the
moment despite b. pierce's recommendation to use it?

I'll simultaneously ask on the unison help list whether 2.31 can be moved
to stable. maybe it helps if the maintainer of the macports package would
do the same :-) ?

thanks,

joerg
