zsh-3.1.7

zsh-3.1.7

[Peter Stephenson]

I have finally uploaded this.  Announcements and tidying up will follow
eventually.  There's no particular hurry, since it's best if it propagates
to mirrors before all and sundry try to retrieve it.  I get a clean
compilation and corect tests on Linux and Solaris with this.

If anyone happens to know how to release a module on sourceforge, the files
zsh-3.1.7.tar.gz zsh-3.1.7-doc.tar.gz are in /home/groups/zsh.  Otherwise
I'll look at it sometime.

Now it's out, anything held over from checking in might as well go in ---
even if something turns up and we need to produce a revision soon, it might
as well have the latest stuff in it.  I don't envisage having to branch the
archive at this point (but I would say that).

I have spent ridiculous amounts of time fighting with trivial problems
including but not limited to:

- modlist.yo wasn't built properly here.  Probably another feature of
  Solaris sed which needs working round. (Not yet done.)

- modlist.yo wasn't in .distfiles, so the compiling machine always thought
  it had to remake it.  This was bad news if you didn't have yodl. (Fixed.)

- making the doc distribution doesn't work on sourceforge because tex
  etc. aren't there, unless anyone knows better.  Argh.  I've just made it
  here.  I think as long as the YODL files are up-to-date before making
  that should be OK.

- The link from sourceforge to zsh.org was bad, presumably temporary.

- The autoconf versions there and here differ in producing tests for awk
  versions, one giving `mawk gawk', the other `gawk mawk'.  It's not
  important, but I suppose it's a good idea to try to synchronise autoconf
  versions as much as possible.

- I'm also unhappy about the way autoconf puts in the cygwin test --- it
  seems to run into the mingw32 test incorrectly (line 1558).  I don't know
  if an upgrade might help that.  I haven't dared change it by hand.

PATCH: AIX dependency (Re: zsh-3.1.7)

[Oliver Kiddle]

I know that I wasn't going to post these patches anymore but I have this
time because with this one only being caused this morning, I've missed
3.1.7 so 3.1.7 as released is not a clean compile on AIX.

What might be a good idea is to get sourceforge to mirror ftp and web
from sunsite Denmark. We're allowed cron jobs so it should be quite
possible to setup. Does anyone have a script or something similar which
they use for their zsh mirror (or whatever else). What would be the best
way for me to do it - wget?

To do a SOurceForge file release, you first upload the file to the
download.sourceforge.net/incoming directory, and then submit a web form
via HTTPS to cause it to be moved to the project's releases area.  They
have all sorts of dire warnings about what will happen to you if you use
this mechanism to snatch some other project's files out of the incoming
area, which is shared by all projects.

If there's a way to automate this procedure with cron, I don't know it.
