Is there a single place where one can easily see an overview of these
fixes? That would be of great help to people building plib packages for
Linux distros like me.

Do these patches apply against 1.8.4 or against CVS?

Talking about CVs is the current CVS significantly different from 1.8.4,
any API changes?

I'm a contributer to other sf hosted projects and sf CVS is working fine
for them. I would like to suggest to not freeze development and instead
keep using CVS for now. Once a SVN move is iactually going to be happen,
then its time to freeze. I don't see how freezing now, while the SVN
migration has no clear timeline, is going to help plib development.

It seems to me that plib development is a bit stuck at everyone waiting
one Steve and Steve not having time todo any work on plib, why don't you
(the community) take over / why doesn't Steve hand over leadership to
someone else?

p.s.

You still didn't answer my question, does a proper written shared lib
support patch have a chance of getting merged? I know ask Steve, well
since he is not answering I'm asking you (the community) so what do you
think?
