DEVELOPER RELATED:
- The diffs in the patches dir now require "patch -p1 <DIFF" instead of
the previous -p0. Also, the version included in the release tar now
affect generated files (e.g. configure, rsync.1, proto.h, etc.), so
it is no longer necessary to run autoconf and/or yodl unless you're
applying a patch that was checked out from CVS.
- Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
the newly patched feature.
- The testsuite now sets HOME so that it won't be affecting by a file
such as ~/.popt.
- There is a new script, "prepare-source" than can be used to update the
various generated files (proto.h, configure, etc.) even before configure
has created the Makefile (this is mainly useful when patching the source
with a patch that doesn't affect generated files).
- The testsuite now sets HOME so that it won't be affected by a file such
as ~/.popt.
