NB: It is based on the umarshal work, so if you test it, you are *also* testing umarshal and upgrading your archive rformats. But you're on -hackers so you should be able to deal. A lot of people they are claiming they are stuck on 2.48 everywhere because they or someone else chooses to run old software on some machines they use. This would, if it really works, avoid the logical inference "one computer has 2.48" => "all must". However, it hasn't had adequate testing, and people who work on the code have all converted to 2.51 years ago, and basically aren't personally interested in anything about 2.48. So people that care will have to test. I am not comfortable merrging untested code, especially for something that supports a subgroup like 2.48 users. So if there isn't adequate testing, it won't get merged. I expect to send a similar message to -users, after umarshal is merged and perhaps there is an alpha.

I'm not sure that's what we want, and in general I'm starting to lean away from "-latest" of any kind. As before, I'm inclined to put the newest ocaml on the newest windows, and the rest ocaml on the previous windows we were using. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
