I noticed that there was a minor problem with this patch. Rules in Makefile.am reference .prev-version, yet that file didn't exist. I've just fixed it locally by doing this: * .prev-version: New file. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .prev-version. The symptom of the problem is a harmless diagnostic every time you run "make" saying the file is not found. That file is used (and automatically updated/committed) only when preparing a release, to create an .xdelta file that can be used to convert the previous released tarball into the current one -- useful for people who download with very limited bandwidth. Currently, I have this for contents: $ cat .prev-version 1.8 _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
