request for testing linux binaries

request for testing linux binaries

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

I would like to ask someone on any (ancient or not) linux distribution
to test if the pdftex binary for linux works OK, just to let me know
if I may continue using that machine to compile binaries for minimals.
(I did not update luatex, metapost or xetex, so only pdftex binary
should be affected.)

OS X 10.4 issues will hopefully be resolved soon. (I need a few
iterations to figure out which compiler switches are needed to make
the binaries work on Tiger. I'll worry about Snow Leopard when first
user starts complaining.)

I compiled a simple tex file, on Ubuntu 8.10, and I think it is working :)

OK, thanks. Let's hope that it will work now. I have also committed
the luatex binary for Mac that hopefully works on Tiger. If anyone
experiences troubles again (other than those connected with rapid
development that), let me know.
