expect5.45.4 why does pkgsrc use expect5.45.0?

[Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb%zenez.com@localhost>]

Hello,

Is there a reason why pkgsrc is not using expect5.45.4?
If I use

https://sourceforge.net/projects/expect/files/Expect/5.45.4/expect5.45.4.tar.gz

With my patches.  I am able to build expect5.45.4,

Using expect5.45.tar.gz from pkgsrc, configure fails with...

configure: error: could not find source file 'pty_.c'
*** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake[1]: stopped in /home/build/pkgsrc_build/lang/tcl-expect
*** Error code 1

Of note I also do not get theses:
