OK I finally figured out what happened, and I'm feeling very embarrassed by it. Sorry everybody for the inconvenience.
I have some automated build tasks running as a service and wasn't aware they were still running. As a result depending on when I ran the manual builds, I am either missing pieces (as it removes files for the background build), or has extra components mixed in from a build on some new git commit. The bundle step takes place after the in-build tree `make check` has run, so I'll need to extend the bundling step for some sanity checks next time. The basic "verify install" tests don't check enough to pick up this sort of screw-up. The safest thing in the circumstances is to rebuild all the builds (done), re-test (done), get them checked by a few other folk first, and on Monday let you all know when the new binaries are OK and have hit the mirrors. If you need a version ASAP (e.g. you are hitting the rewriter bug which was one of the main reasons for the 1.2.2 point release) please reply offline and I can get you started sooner, or just follow the thread on dev@. Again, my sincere apologies. Dave On 4 April 2013 10:04, Dave Cottlehuber <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Marten, > > I need to look into this.
