Where does the rpm_share come from? Isn't tar a complete red herring? And grep -R doesn't find init_baselib either. > make test is a bit of a mess, here are just the stderr observations; OK, actual errors are presumably the place to look for what might be actual regressions.

Is that a fix you can apply in our build (from trunk or otherwise), or is it better left as a release note? > Failed Tests Total Fail Failed % > =================================================== > testdso 9 8 88.89% > testprocmutex 6 3 50.00% > testsock 16 2 12.50% So no change there.

Would it be fair to assume that anything outside those failed tests is unlikely to be an actual regression from 1.5.x? -- Nick Kew
