Hi, I uploaded today Scripts 2.8.0 to the repositories.
Upgrade is strongly recommended, as new it introduces a new format for the FileHash file used in package signatures. This means older versions of Scripts will NOT able to install packages packed using Scripts 2.8.0 or later (the new release features backwards compatibility, so it can use older packages just fine). The technical problem with the old format ocurred when a program contained symlinks pointing outside its tree; the new format no longer computes hashes for the contents of files pointed by symlinks, but for their name (which is a better equivalent to the "content" of a symbolic link). The bug was made evident when I tried packing Udev, which contains a link to /proc/kcore. The new FileHash generation/check code is also _much_ faster, even when processing old format files (the hash check after installing KDE-Libs, which used to take over 40 seconds in my box, now takes 2 seconds). To upgrade, just run InstallPackage Scripts Enjoy! -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
