rude question (next release?)

Hi;

I realize this is an unreasonable question. But what are mailing lists
for? :-)

I want to put together a FreeBSD port for maxima (analogous to an srpm
for Linux folks.)  Unfortunately release 5.6 does not work for me,
while the CVS current does.  Basically I need a known good snapshot or
release to work against.  Are there plans for such a snapshot/release
in the near future?

Of course I can always tar up the tree I just checked out (or use cvs
export), but I'd rather not distribute a "rogue" version.

All the best,

David
