barsalou is still having a problem:
Quoting Scott Testerman <question76464@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

> Scott Testerman proposed the following answer:

> available version is 6.13.

So should I be able to just point at that repository and do the upgrade?

This is what we ended up doing, but felt somehow 'wrong'. :)

This is an idea that seems reasonable. What kind of help would you  
need to complete something like that?
