I need to recompile all binary modules in Ports?!?!? That should not have happened, because the MAINT maintainer (Nicholas Clark) must not have applied patches, which break the 5.10 binary ABI. Anyway, it happened now and I wonder what would be best. Continue as with the 5.8.x mess where the same utf8 disaster happened, or go back to a -6 based on -4 based on quilt. I wait for an official statement and proposed fixes from p5p for a few days. My 5.10 patch queue was getting really big, and I was almost forced to switch my build system to be quilt based. That's why I switched to a MAINT patchlevel version. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
