The trouble was that upstream was in cvs. It was the only reason we
still had a dependency on cvs and we decided we wanted to kill it which
isn't something I regret.

Can you share a tarball of the updated (unpatched) upstream version and
we'll put it into place alongside the other tarball on the server.
Michael (cc'd) should be able to do this. Once that is done you should
be able to send a patch as usual to update to the new version.

I appreciate this is a pain but a dependency on cvs is worse IMO ;-).

Cheers,
