Are there significant differences between the last release and CVS?  Also do you
know if upstream is planning a release any time soon?

Please provide the information asked for in comment #2

See here: http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/ratpoison/ratpoison/NEWS
The new redo command is probably what's lacking most on -beta4.

I don't think that it matters much whether or not a new version 
will be released soon. It wouldn't at least dismiss my wish
for a cvs ebuild, just dampen. Howsoever, I asked the upstream
maintainer the question, an answer is still pending. I'll
provide you the answer once I've got it.

Typically if upstream is semi-active, we don't make a CVS version of a package.

Let me know what you find out from upstream.
