patchkit-0.2.tar.Z is the current "official" unofficial patch kit... 8-)
generally, in terms of things like patch kits, if it's in an "official-looking"
place, is newer and contains more patchkits, it's probably for real...
yeah, you've gotta uninstall all of the old ones before you install the new.
if you can, you might be better off just starting off from a "clean"
source tree... (there's a reason that i keep "src01.??" online here at
home... 8-)
good luck,
