Was there any discussion on the list about this?
- rationale?
- compatibility issues?
- no apparent changes to pmproxy ... was the asynchronous stuff ever
tested with pmproxy ... on the face of it I don't see how it could
possibly work which leaves at least one person stuck ... 8^(>
- why is libpcp.so.2 a symlink to libpcp.so.3 when the ABI has changed
so radically? For those of us not using IRIX, how is backwards
compatibility supposed to be maintained, e.g. newly linked apps cannot
run on old pcp installations
Other than that
a. it complies and installs fine on Fedora Core 4 (I'll try Windows
tomorrow)
b. I have a bunch of other patches that I'll have to redo against
2.5.99 ... can you hold off until I can do that, or do you just want to
wait and get a dumping of day-1 patches for 2.6 when it releases?
