My comment wasn't a wise-ass comment - perhaps you should change the
way you read email.

They are merged when a major release happens. There was an
argus-clients.2.0.5 and argus-2.0.5, which then got merged into
argus 2.0.6 as it was released.

If there was a CVS tree accessible, I think we all might pitch in a
bit more with patches.

Carter: perhaps we can get a public CVS tree up and send you cvs
diff's as patches?
