Hi Tom, and all...

     I run xastir on a RasPi B. It 's beyond me to build there from CVS, 
or to cross-compile in my Kubuntu macine (I have it there but don't 
usually run it), so it's the repository's 2.0.0.
    Help/About gives no direct clue (website or mailto:) for the 
maintainer(s), hence my query here.

Again hopeful...
