no offense taken! It is just that I happened to awaken a problem about 
versioning here.

True, my work doesn't depend on these OpenCSW packages. However I strive 
for quality. I am an "upstream developer" and I like to take care about 
the software I like on solaris/sparc and generally I want to make life 
easier for other users, both professional and hobbyists, by providing 
up-to-date packages

I didn't expect that an update would cause such a problem, but now that 
there is a path to the solution.

I hope that after this upgade it will be etter for anybody: the 
versioning is the solution you proposed. Just making it work has some 
itches.

I hope the current build will provide the necessary packages and that 
they will work. I'll leave the wiki page open for all packages to be 
updated sooner or later!
