Found 2.0.2 on mailing list, haven't seen anything newer and it works for me so adding it to the wiki. --Drucci 16:33, 14 January 2007 (EST)

Here are the two patches in that freebsd port

The first patch isn't necessary. (substring "1.4<ANYTHING>" 0 3) will yield "1.4", so the line that's being changed already takes into account 1.4.1. Clearly the person writing that patch doesn't understand scheme or didn't actually test it.

The second patch shouldn't be necessary, but I can understand why it might be. - Warlord -- 2007-01-18

2.0.4 Successfully compiles & runs on FreeBSD using a (barely) modified version of the port described on FreeBSD. When I get a chance I'll throw it online for others to test. --Drucci 13:41, 20 January 2007 (EST)
