According to Joe R. Jah: > Would you please list the patches you have already committed to CVS, and > those you may, so that we can carry over the rest as patches to 3.1.7 > folder. Actually, I haven't begun committing changes to CVS yet. As for 3.1.6, I'll probably wait until I have a sufficiently large and complete to-do list, and a good chunk of time I can devote to the task (which I don't have now), and then get a flurry of commits happening. All I have right now is a to-do list of 23 bug fixes, some of which exist in patches and some of which need to be written still. I also need to go through the set of existing patches to see what's ready to use as-is, what needs tweaking/configure test/documentation, and what I'll exclude. > Here is the list as of: Thu Sep 5 17:38:47 PDT 2002: > > Patch # of downloads > ----- -------------- > ssl.9 193 > timet_enddate.1 182 > Makefile.0 78 > documentation.1 68 > metadate.0 65 > redirect.0 51 > documentation.2 50 > NUL.0 47 > AdjustableLoggingPatch.tar.gz 44 > fileSpace.1 42 > titleSpace.0 36 > multiple-noindex.1 34 > Date-viewing.0 32 > time_t.0 27 > gcc-3.1.0 22 > ExecutionTime.0 9 > ExternalParser-max_doc_size.0 7 > htnotifyNull.0 6 Offhand, I'd break them down thus... Include as-is Leave out ------------- --------- Date-viewing.0 AdjustableLoggingPatch.tar.gz ExternalParser-max_doc_size.0 ExecutionTime.0 Makefile.0 multiple-noindex.1 documentation.1 ssl.9 documentation.2 titleSpace.0 gcc-3.1.0 metadate.0 redirect.0 time_t.0 timet_enddate.1 Unsure/needs work ----------------- fileSpace.1 (new feature, needs docs, but simple/clean/portable & in demand) NUL.0 (needs config attribute & docs, adds overhead) htnotifyNull.0 (still has problems with in.bad() handling) For those who are interested, my current, sketchy to-do list for 3.1.7 is... - back out Gabriele's CVS changes of Aug 13 - fix "not HTML" error message to something like "unknown Content-type". + server_wait_time is currently misspelled in cf_byname.html + string list description explains quoted string list in cf_types.html + htmerge -m is unclear (fixed in maindocs) + Marchand's patch to htsearch/Display.cc (fix enddate bug) + Marchand's patch to Makefile.config.in (use DEFS) + fix parsedcdate() in Retriever.cc to allow '-' after year - fix parsedcdate() in Retriever.cc to handle server's local timezone + "dc.date.modified" handling patch (May 17) - handle -ve scores and/or locations in WordList::Word() - fix parsers not to overflow location calc (find e-mail about this) - handle location_factor attr. in WordList::Word(), check bounds - checks for -ve scores in Display.cc - better handling of multimatch_factor, using a new count field in DocMatch - keep docdb records for noindex docs, just not words, so updates check these - don't delete ANCHOR just because it's not in excerpt - better handling of sup & sub tags in HTML.cc, optionally treat as punctuation - new catdoc link: http://www.ice.ru/~vitus/catdoc/ in contrib/* parsers - less verbose output from htnotify -v, require 2 or more v's for that - Martin Vorlaender's VMS patches + patch #548448 dealing with unsigned time_t (Apr 25) - handle nulls in text/* files (convert to space) where + means fixed in maindocs or a complete patch, and - means needs work. As you can see, my to-do list and the list of patches I want aren't even mutually complete, though most patches I want are mentioned in the to-do list. I've no doubt missed some things on my list that have been discussed as important/urgent before, but never got around to noting them. If anyone wants to help complete the list, or better yet knock off (i.e. implement) some items on the list, more power to you. -- Gilles R.
