Relevant for users of Debian binaries is: commit 50148ab580f8912fa3cf5cd55c1e68050d43cf45 Author: Patrick Ohly <[email protected]> Date: Thu Sep 25 06:57:50 2014 +0000 scripting: prevent premature loop timeouts The more complex "avoid data loss during merging" scripting ran for longer than 5s limit under extreme conditions (full logging, busy system, running under valgrind), which resulted in aborting the script and a 10500 "local internal error" sync failure. The endless loop prevention should only be necessary to detect programming mistakes, so better disable it entirely. > > It would be "cleaner" > > to have a regular release in Debian, too. > > I know. It just didn't work out. Never mind. 1.4.99.4 is close enough. I don't mind getting prodded a bit regarding releases. I'm not actively following downstream release cycles, so telling me about them occasionally would help to get upstream releases out in time. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.syncevolution.org/mailman/listinfo/syncevolution
