Anyone who's involved enough to be doing distribution of Sword software ought to be involved enough to be seeing discussion about such things as the curl bug and its patch here. When the bug was encountered, there was rather a lot of activity about it. Anyone who didn't see it...just wasn't watching. > If I remember correctly, an OpenSUSE user was the last to report the > bug to BibleTime, so maybe OpenSUSE still has it unpatched. No. Brian Dumont <bdum...@ameritech.net> is on top of that, and has informed me in the past that appropriate updates were available as of Aug 05. Whether updated builds get to the field properly is a whole different question -- e.g. we have the annoying nightmare that a Xiphos display workaround release for an xulrunner bug, fixed in May, hasn't gotten back to Ubuntu repositories, though it's available elsewhere just fine (via CrossWire's Ubuntu PPA for Sword builds). _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
