Request for tla 1.3.1 Build Testing
2005-03-15

Recently the tla 1.3.1 mainline has been patched to use a more recent version of libneon. This is a request for people to build test the resulting mainline.

Note: Unlike previous 1.3.1 RFBT's, this one asks you to register two archives rather than just one.

To perform the test, you will need to have registered the archives:

                lord@emf.net--2005
                lord@emf.net--websw-2005

Coordinates for those archives are given below.

To create the necessary source tree:

        % tla get lord@emf.net--2005/dists--devo--1.3.1 tla-build-test
        % cd tla-build-test
        % tla buildcfg ./config

To perform the test, from that same directory:

        % cd src
        % mkdir =build
        % cd =build
        % ../configure
        % make
        % make test
        % make install

The install step will install tla in a subdirectory of the =build directory -- not somewhere it is likely to accidentally appear on your path.

Test results (a short summary, not the output of make) can be informally passed along on gnu-arch-dev@lists.seyza.com.

Thanks. -t
