I didn't found differing patches from Debian's 0.6.0-pre2-3 Side note: @Rhonda I wonder why 3be3adcf308e, which was stated to fix the spurious data deletions, wasn't provided (Debian #727245)? > In OpenBSD, the code git tagged as 6.1 does not compile while the > unpatched Debian 6.0-pre2.5 code does. I am somewhat confused by this My guess: autotools was given 2 or 3 updates in the meantime. (versioned) autogenerated files were ... autoregenerated (autoreconf -f). Could you post the error? Which version of autoconf/automake are you using? Did you tried an autoreconf / autoreconf -fiv? > and was hoping you could tell me which code base the abook developers > would like to stand behind as stable enough for release? Other than bugfixes, the core code wasn't much touched other than strictly needed for implementing new features. I'd say that core stability is intact (especially if compiled/configured to mimic the 0.6.0-pre2: no colors, no mouse, no libvformat, no use of custom export, ...) But newly added features were not deeply tested. Eg: today I pushed something (8602a8d5) fixing a bug laying around for 7 months (affecting one of the "new features"). Anyway I'd say that packaging the 0.6.1 in a experimental-like repository is safe enough. > I also have noted that the newer version now has a solid line in the > contacts panel above email2.
