Hi Hazen: It seems we have a "brown-paper-bag" release bug for Mac OS X to quote Linus. Don't feel too bad about this, Hazen. You are in good company here. It happened to me as well for one of my earlier releases, and for many other projects including the Linux kernel (where Linus just wanted to pull a brown bag over his head and hide to reduce the embarrassment factor of a flawed kernel release). See 1.2 in README.release for the background on why *.rc files are handled differently now. The proper fix is to copy aqt.rc to drivers/aqt.rc.in in the source tree (which I assume you did before since otherwise your OS X tests wouldn't have worked at all), but remember to commit that aqt.rc.in file to svn. This is the reason why it is important to use "svn status" to make sure you don't have any uncommitted files when you are testing the svn version. I double-checked and don't see any other missing *.rc.in files there for any device that we still use. It appears Mac OS X users of 5.9.3 are going to have to patch their systems for the entirety of the 5.9.3 release cycle. To reduce that user pain as much as possible, I suggest that release cycle should be shortened as much as possible. Thus, Hazen, once you are happy with your Mac OS X tests, I suggest you do a full 5.9.4 release today (Sunday) or tomorrow remembering to repeat all the version-specific stuff in README.Release_Manager_Cookbook for 5.9.4. Meanwhile, every other developer should refrain from commits to give Hazen a clear field to deal with this simple, but nevertheless embarrassing issue. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
