1.19.1 or what am I missing?
Keith verified off-list that he really meant 1.19.2
Oops. I really wasn't having a very good day yesterday, was I? Guess I
hit `Reply' instead of `Reply-to-All', so only Louis saw the reply -- it
wasn't intentionally off-list. ;-(
this happens to me in two out of three cases (that I hit `reply' instead
of `reply all', I mean :-)).
I'm curious as to why 1.19.2 isn't in Mac OS X or in NetBSD-3.
Maybe it's in -current.
Maybe it's just too new to have made it into the distros yet; 1.19.2 was
released for download from gnu.org on 4-Sept-2005, but it then needs some
time for the various distro packagers to incorporate it. I don't know
how long the lead time is, for Mac OS X or NetBSD.
well, MacOS is commercial and they seem to be reluctant to update things
like, e.g., rsync or groff as fast as they could (system updates roll in
rather frequently, but groff is still at 1.19.1). as far as I know there
are currently two different package management systems for MacOS around:
'fink' and 'Darwinports'. on 'fink', too, the latest available version
is 1.19.1. But 'Darwinports' provides 1.19.2. although this is probably
not the wisest approach (since many basic libs get installed twice) I
use 'fink' and 'DarwinPorts' at the same time without problems (except
longer search paths ...) and installed 1.19.2. yesterday to try out the
new features (which are nice!).
