The good news is that it's completely POSIX.2 compliant. The bad news is that it's pretty slow; it's basically an alpha release, and I'd really hoped to get at least to a beta before 4.4 shipped, but that didn't happen. Eventually there will be a faster release, but don't ask me to set a date just yet. That comment was from back in '93.. I think it's better to drop this package in favor of libgnurx. I'll package it and come up with a new review request ASAP. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
