Yeah, seriously. And here's the changes we're talking about, from the web
site:

  2007-08-31: lftp-3.5.14 released. A bug fixed.
  2007-08-23: lftp-3.5.13 released. Some bugs fixed.
  2007-07-26: lftp-3.5.12 released. Minor improvements.
  2007-04-11: lftp-3.5.11 released. Some minor bugs fixed.

None of that really looks earth-shattering -- and with sometimes only a few
weeks between updates, seems like waiting for an important release is a
reasonably maintenance strategy.

I agree but bugs are bugs and this hasn't been updated for Fedora 7 or following the update request. Not great. Plus the maintainer's email address is waving a red flag in my head somewhere - I think someone was chasing another of his packages for an update on IRC recently...
