Re: sysutils/krusader: update to 2.8.1



I read https://www.pkgsrc.org/wip/users/, and add COMMIT_MSG to
pkgsrc-wip/krusader
(https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc-wip/commit/d218deb2e6a09f854efaccdcbf2d8640e4f2d31d).
I see it is available in pkgsrc-wip/krusader folder, without the
others (Makefile, PLIST etc)
Maybe Thomas had an outdated pkgsrc-wip tree? :)
