Phillip is going to issue a new point release soon. Adding man pages is
the main thing to still be done. There are a few changes since our last
bug fix update. I want to get a little wider testing of the changes
before Phillip tags the new release. I'd rather not find something
just after the releae like what happened with 4.5.
I'm not going to push this to released versions of Fedora. Once the
new point release is out, I expect to eventually push that to released
versions of Fedora.
These are pretty minor and I wasn't planning on building anywhere but
rawhide for the time being. I think there is a good chance of additional
minor updates within a month or two. In particular, it would make sense
to tag a minor release. But I'd like to get a little wider testing of
the changes so far, because we found some issues right after the last
tagged release, because we didn't do enough testing.
Another write outside destination directory issue was fixed
post 4.5. While 4.5.1 should be out soon, I wanted to get
this out since the release date isn't known yet.
From a comment on the bug:
This is a regression caused by rewriting the duplicate checking code
to be more aggressive when looking for duplicates when using tail-end
packing. In particular a file doesn't now have to be the same size
to be considered a (partial) duplicate.
his is a bare bones update to test the release. There were a lot of
changes and 2 new sym lynced names. The programs help has info
about this. But the man pages are missing a lot and still need to
be updated. Potentially command line changes could break composes,
though I am not expecting that.
In order to get this done now, rather than double some patches before
going to the tip of Phillip's tree, use a cherry picked patch from that
tree.
John Friend pulled together the patch written by Sean Purcell for upstream.
Paul Frields did some review, so I didn't need to.
It looks like the command that gets run covers more than the test script.
We need to keep that other output out of the output we search for
failure. The includes the dnf step, since it can have non fatal failures.
It also looks like the dnf step might need kernel-modules-extra for
mounting squashfs file systems.
