#1924: gzip-1.3.6 ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.3 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- From NEWS:
Major changes in Gzip 1.3.6 (2006-11-20) * Fix some race conditions in setting file time stamps, permissions, and owner.[[BR]] * Fix some race conditions in signal handling.[[BR]] * When gzip exits due to a signal, it exits with the signal's status, not 1.[[BR]] * gzip now restores file time stamps to the resolution supported by the time-setting primitives of the operating system, typically 1 microsecond. Formerly it restored them only to the nearest second.[[BR]] * gzip -r no longer attempts to reset the last-access times of directories it reads, as this messes up when other processes are reading the directories.[[BR]] * The options --version and --help now work on all gzip-installed executables, and now use a format similar to other GNU programs.[[BR]] * The manual is now distributed under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License without invariant sections or cover texts.[[BR]] * Port to current versions of Autoconf, Automake, and Gnulib. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1924> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
