[gobolinux-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Scripts 2.9.7

[Jonas Karlsson]

Happy hollidays,
here is a present for all of you, even for those of you who don't
celebrate christmas: Scripts 2.9.7. This is a bugfix release of
Scripts and to have it installed just issue "InstallPackage Scripts"
at a prompt.

Several bugs have been squashed, but most notable is that
UpdateSettings now works even when locale is not en_US. Full changelog
is at the bottom of this message.

	* Makefile: Only change the "real" VERSION variable

2008-11-11 19:32  mohjive

	* Makefile: We want to create the tarball from the tag (while we
	  still are switched) instead of trunk

	* Resources/Defaults/Settings/Scripts/CompatibilityList: Added old
	  XFree86 package to the Xorg compatibility list.

2008-11-14 17:15  mohjive

	* bin/UpdateSettings: Force en_US output from diff, as having diff
	  output in other languages breaks the following sed, as reported
	  by blueonyx

2008-11-15 22:08  mohjive

	* bin/FindPackage: Switch to use gnu_getopts, which support mixing
	  of options and non-options. Also keep calling name in argv and
	  args array

2008-11-19 12:17  mohjive

	* Resources/Defaults/Settings/GenericFlags.conf: Add "motif"
	  generic flag

2008-11-24 05:37  mwh

	* bin/UseFlags: Make UseFlagEngine instances picklable by stripping
	  lambdas/instancemethods from attributes.

2008-11-24 05:38  mwh

	* bin/UseFlags: Add UFE.disabledflags method.

2008-12-01 20:11  mohjive

	* bin/UnionSandbox: Set a sensible timeout for "udevadm settle".
	  Patch by David Karell

2008-12-01 20:18  mohjive

	* Resources/Defaults/Settings/bashrc: Set TMPDIR environment
	  variable for bash as well

2008-12-01 21:22  mwh

	* bin/UseFlags: Fix a couple of bugs with UseFlags/GetRecipe
	  interaction

2008-12-01 21:45  mwh

	* bin/UseFlags: Fix program-specific comparison, that was using
	  path

2008-12-02 22:43  mohjive

	* Functions/File: Move file information functions from Compile to
	  Functions/File in Scripts

2008-12-04 07:41  mwh

	* bin/UseFlags: Optional useflags spooky action at a distance for
	  those that want it.

2008-12-04 07:52  mwh

	* bin/UseFlags: Spookiness by default (but still optional).

2008-12-04 07:57  mwh

	* bin/UseFlags: Fix a few bugs related to having no potential flags
	  (as recipe not specified)

2008-12-04 08:52  mwh

	* bin/UseFlags: "if program is Foo" blocks, and scoping-related
	  bugfixes

2008-12-05 08:55  mohjive

	* bin/UnionSandbox: No need to create the tmp dir non-readable by
	  group or others

2008-12-05 09:07  mohjive

	* Functions/PostInstall: We're not interested if "rmdir" failed or
	  not

2008-12-05 09:36  mohjive

	* Functions/PostInstall: On second thoughts, we are interested if
	  "rmdir" failed or not, we just need to try harder

2008-12-09 23:14  mwh

	* bin/UseFlags: Current spookiness seems to cause more problems
	  without solving any; undefault it until that's resolved.

2008-12-15 00:44  mwh

	* bin/UpdateSettings: Use LANG/LC_ALL=C to run diff.
	
	  EN is not an ISO3166 country code, so en_EN will never work, and
	  if you are
	  running another locale will produce unpredictable results,
	  sometimes leading
	  to infinite loops later on. LANG=C should always produce the same
	  output
	  everywhere. If utf-8 is necessary for some reason, we should use
	  en_US.utf8
	  instead.

2008-12-17 00:39  mwh

	* Resources/Defaults/Settings/zshrc: "colors" is no longer loaded
	  by default in ZSH 4.3.9, so autoload it explicitly or you get
	  errors and monochrome prompts.

2008-12-24 08:43  mwh

	* Data/CommandNotFound.data: CNF DB update before the release.
