Replying to mf2k@…:

How does one then request a port of a different (in this case, more recent) version?

comment:3 Changed 9 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)

Use the "update" type, which I already set it to.

comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by szhorvat (Szabolcs Horvát)

I have a need for version 9.15 as well, as 9.10 is missing some features.
