Hi everyone,
Satya discovered a fatal bug in 5.3.1. Which causes venus to crash when
truncating a file in disconnected mode. The patch that fixes it is
appended to the end of this email. I only compiled an updated rpm for
the client and placed it on ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu as:
/pub/coda/linux/i386/coda-debug-client-5.3.1-2.i386.rpm
^--notice the release #
There are currently no prebuild binaries with this fix applied for other
platforms.
