MacPorts only has 2.32.52 near as I can tell. Cygwin has 2.27, 2.32, and 2.40 as individual packages (example FS layout for 2.40 [1]). Debian seems to have 2.13, 2.27, and 2.32 as separate packages as well. The official unofficial binaries seem to be single version [2]. [1] http://cygwin.com/packages/unison2.40/unison2.40-2.40.16-2 [2] http://alan.petitepomme.net/unison/index.html Would having the different versions as separate packages work (unisonX.YY), with a splitoff 'unison' that sets the %p/bin/unison-[%ui] --> unison-%v-[%ui] work? This should make all the versions available, with the latest version having precedence for the unversioned binary (firefox(%v=3-8) works like this)?
