Another item that needs attention is a bug RSK and I have found testing 1.0. When loading index files, Unwrapt sometimes throws "IOError:Not a gzipped file". By adding a print statement, I found that it was always a Medibuntu index file causing the error. Interestingly, I could open the index file with an archive app just fine. Another thing: this error only occurs on my 64-bit Studio Edition desktop; not my 32-bit Lubuntu laptop. I'll test on another 32-bit machine and see what happens.
I may have time to look into this myself eventually, but I wanted to give y'all the opportunity to beat me to it. :-) On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 9:49 PM, mac9416 <[email protected]> wrote: > Fellow Keryx Developers, > > I apologize that Keryx development has been slow in the past month or > so.
