mmm sounds good. The only problem is that since this will make everybody
use the latest version always, I'll really have to make sure that rpa-base
isn't broken and can still update itself, etc :-) 

IIRC such a problem happened once, around 0.2.0-28 or maybe 0.2.1-1, where
rpa-base wouldn't install itself correctly when using a non-standard
$prefix. I fixed it quickly and AFAIK nobody was bitten.  Anyway, in
the worst possible case, you'd just have to install rpa-base from the
.tar.gz again (it would adopt the installed ports, etc). Not quite as
convenient as a simple  rpa install rpa-base  but still acceptable.
And this won't be a problem when I make  rpa install rpa-base  itself
atomic.
