Announcing release 3.46 of reposurgeon
Release 3.46 of reposurgeon is now available at: http://www.catb.org/~esr/reposurgeon Here are the most recent changes: Added 'relax' no-op command. Added bug warning about repocutter not handling Mac line terminations. Fix for GitLab issue #117: malformed attribution. Repocutter help command has been repaired. Command renames: mailbox_in -> msgin, mailbox_out -> msgout. The exec and eval commands have been removed. Scripts now bail out on error; "relax" suppresses this. Fixes for repocutter strip and patherename (GitLab issues #18 & #142) Document some limitations of repocutter sift and expunge. -- shipper, acting for Eric S.

It does for me, and apparently for others too. Are you experiencing the same problem as Thomas? Do we know that the new version in proposed should fix it? I don't see a relevant bug (fixed or otherwise) in launchpad. It works for me with or without that version. Can't tell exactly which issues it addresses. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
