If someone is offering to put pre-release code through it's paces, we can do that without SF (yeah, it's a pretty clunky way of doing it, but we all did somehow get by before the SF, and even IP connectivity 8-) Obviously Greg's patch should go in - are there any other patches vs 0.37 that should be applied? I'll put together a devel snapshot for you to download and test, and if all goes well, we'll call that 0.38. In some ways, this situation is no worse than the linux kernel - multiple repositories, patches being mailed around and being applied without testing (since Andrew Morton and Linus can only ever have a small subset of the hardware available). But if I can find time, I'll have another go at installing Sybase. -- Andrew McNamara, Senior Developer, Object Craft http://www.object-craft.com.au/ |
