Oh, nice; a new usb-modeswitch release!
After a rapid look trough it, I noticed that you embed jimtcl 0.71;
unfortunately, this fact somehow means that I will have to package jimtcl
independently from usb-modeswitch, patch it out from the source tarball we
release and patch usb-modeswitch's buildsystem to use the "now external"
jimtcl.
Why that? As a distribution, we try as much as possible to limit code
duplication, which opens cans of worms (security issues, etc.). As a
demonstration, jimtcl was recently released as version 0.72 which fixes the
two following issues e.g.:
* Fix memory overwrite in built-in regexp
* [regexp], [regsub] could leak objects in some circumstances
Those fixes are not in usb-modeswitch's jimtcl embedded copy (I don't know if
that's a problem, eh…)
@openocd maintainers: as far as I can see, openocd embeds jimtcl too (in it's
0.71 version too), would you be interested in co-maintaining jimtcl ?
In any case, I will file an ITP bug and start the packaging of jimtcl, on a
collab-maint git.
Cheers,
