- Why was  regex.h  renamed  gregex.h  in 3.1.6?  It seems
to break the  configure  script, so that it always reports
HAVE_BROKEN_REGEX.
Strange, it wasn't doing that for me, but perhaps that's because I was using gcc-3.x?

The change was made because certain systems have serious problems between the included regex and the system regex. We were told that there were segfaults with the included regex.h (prob. because it was receiving precedence in the INCLUDES) and the system libc's regex code. Their solution was to move regex.h to gregex.h. Since it doesn't matter much to *us*, that seemed fine.

.../foo/bar/fred/  instead of  .../foo/fred/.  That could
lead to loops (although I haven't tested that)
Loops are quite possible with symlinks (though what you describe is a bug). This is why the checksumming code is important.

class, but that will mean that the sysadmin can't use
sym-links to do things like make machines with different
directory structures appear to have the same structure.  Is
that likely to be a problem?
Yes, I'd think that's a problem. Would it be easier to handle a symlink as a redirect?

- The  HtFTP  class seems to be basically the same as the
HtFile  class, with name changes.  (From the name, I would
The HtFTP class was started by a contributor and I haven't seen any further evidence that it's been completed. So no, it doesn't handle ftp:// URLs, nor should it be "hooked up" in Document.cc.

- I've changed some  Makefile.am  files, but when I
automake (version 1.5), it generates files using the macro
$(OBJEXT) where  .o  is produced by the current
Makefile.in, and OBJEXT isn't defined.
My understanding is that the newest versions of automake really need to use the most current versions of autoconf as well. I don't believe the configure.in has been updated for autoconf-2.5x. As well, you need to run "aclocal" usually to update that file with a variety of automake/autoconf macros.

- Geoff, do you still plan to give me CVS access?  It would
be great if you could.
Yes, sorry. I'm wading through a huge e-mail backlog. :-(

Send me an e-mail with your SourceForge account and I can turn it on.

-Geoff
