thank you for having discussed this change on d-devel and for adding
documentation to NEWS and release notes to announce this change. I also think
it is sensible to roll this only out on new installations and to keep the
behaviour on existing setups. Thank you for implementing that as well.
That being said, maybe some Perl wizard knows how to do a flock on a directory
in Perl? I tried this:
use Fcntl qw(LOCK_EX);
opendir(my $handle, ".") or die "opendir: $!";
flock($handle, LOCK_EX) or die "flock: $!";
And got this:
flock() on unopened filehandle $handle at test.pl line 8.
(Are you trying to call flock() on dirhandle $handle?)
flock: Bad file descriptor at test.pl line 8.
Wrapping $handle in fileno() doesn't make a difference either. Perl sources
seem to indicate that directory handles are "evil_fh"?

Thanks!
