OK, I committed Lachlan's patch, which Joe provided in the patch archives, so the parser fix is in now. I also made about four other changes which were things that had slipped through the cracks, and I rediscovered this morning while looking at RPMs of htdig. I through in one of Red Hat's patches to db/hash.c, which I can't imagine breaking anything. I did discover a little problem, though, while looking through for things that may have slipped through the cracks. The fixes that Lachlan had made back in April to get database creation working on Cygwin included a couple manual fixes to db/aclocal.m4 and db/configure, to switch in the new os_abs.c.win32 file when needed. Well, those two fixes were lost when Gabriele rebuilt these two scripts using autoreconf earlier this month. Now if I understand correctly, the configure script is built from configure.in and aclocal.m4, but what builds aclocal.m4 and how can we force that to preserve Lachlan's addition? I suppose we can manually re-add this fix to these two files before releasing b6, and deal with the problem properly later, but we really need to deal with this. The problem with all these autotools is that it's extremely difficult to keep straight what builds what (and what clobbers what!), so how to you make changes permanent? Gabriele and Lachlan, I'll throw this in your hands. You can decide between the two of you how you want this fixed for b6 and for 3.2.0 final, and how much this should (further) delay the b6 release. -- Gilles R.
