I'm so sorry.  I am maintaining vile for Debian (and implicitly)
for Ubuntu and I haven't gotten around to updating it to more
current upstream the past few weeks (months?).  I will create
a new package soon!

I am also struggling with the release system, since I accidently created
an upgrade path from 9.6-k1 to 9.6m-1.  While this may seem correct, the
'm' is a upstream-side thing not a Debian thing, the patching was done
in Debian space.  So I'd like to continue doing this, now that I have
made this mistake but I was wondering if Vile could be released as new
upstream tarball next to the patch, so that I can tear down this
"Debian-space patching".

I am done rambling now, thanks for your attention.
