Hello Hannes,

Thanks a lot for your work the past weeks. I've been reading the commits
with interest. :-)

That all seems reasonable, go ahead.

Sure thing.

I'll have a look at that later, but if grep can't find a reference I'm
sure we can remove it.

Cool, thanks.

Yes, they are working. They are still called CVS snapshots, mainly because
Rami also needs to update his web site which has a direct link to the
tar.gz file.

Good idea. I'll have to add this to my snapshot script.

I committed patches for 1 and 2. However the rule documentation needs a 
complete rewrite (planned for aide >0.15).

Richard, you can release aide 0.15-rc1 now.

The copyright statements in the include/* and source/* files are much 
outdated. I'll update them (based on the author name and author date 
information in the git) before the final release of aide 0.15.

I've removed the compare_db function. In case of doubt we can revert the 
change.

What about to push the snapshot script to the git?

Thanks. I'm pretty busy over the weekend, but I'll try to make a release 
some time soon.

Cheers,

I will once I incorporate the git commit-id.

Rami: are you able to change the snapshot link on 
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~rammer/aide.html from 
http://aide.sourceforge.net/aide-CVS-snapshot.tar.gz to 
http://aide.sourceforge.net/aide-git-snapshot.tar.gz ?

Regards,

Richard

You can use 'git rev-list -1 --abbrev-commit origin/master' to get the 
latest commit-id.
