Snapshots

Snapshots

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi all,

thanks a lot for all your work on ZSH !

As an onlooker only, I would like to make the suggestion, that some of
you prepare a snapshot which contains recent patches.

I have just done that myself and it was somewhat hard and I am still not
sure I have got all patches. Still, it compiles and seems to run.

Such a snapshot could be a patchbase for more recent patches.
Looking through the archived mailing list it was not always clear
which patch should have been applied first.


Thanks for listening,
Helmut.


P.S. Since I am not subscribed to zsh-workers (only to zsh-users) please
     CC me in your replies

I've been doing this, but quite deliberately haven't posted messages
about it to zsh-users, since it's really for people who are involved
in the discussions on zsh-workers.  The official zsh-3.1.x releases
are in any case betas, it didn't seem a good idea to spread the dirty
washing out any further.  It's at

http://www.ifh.de/~pws/computing/zsh-3.1.5-patched.tar.gz

It's a couple of weeks old and I'll probably update it once more
before Christmas (I have a large module which I'm going to post before
then).
