[htdig-dev] Re: Forward porting changes for 3.1.6 to 3.2.0b4

[Lachlan A. <lh...@ee...>]

Greetings Jim,

Can I suggest that you post the list of changes to be made 
and tell everyone the order you plan to make them?  That 
way others of us will be able to work in parallel without 
duplicating effort.

I've found that the ChangeLog entries are sufficiently 
different that it is easier to work with ChangeLog for 
3.1.6, htdig-3.1.5-3.1.6.diff and the 3.2 source.  I've 
been going through and deleting the changes that have 
already been made (or obviated by other changes), and a 
very preliminary list is at
<http://www.ee.mu.oz.au/staff/lha/htdig-3.1.6-3.2-ports>
If you have a more comprehensive list, I'd love to see it.

Cheers,
Lachlan
