But with ARM broken according to Nico I'd almost just want this fixed in the upcoming 1.6.1 release. Its simple enough to do. We can even do something like this during the transition period until right before the 1.6.1 final: diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h index 46f82bd..e77adf9 100644 --- a/cache.h +++ b/cache.h @@ -5,6 +5,10 @@ #include "strbuf.h" #include "hash.h" +#define SHA_CTX not_the_SHA_CTX_you_are_looking_for +#define SHA1_Init not_the_SHA1_Init_you_are_looking_for +#define SHA1_Update not_the_SHA1_Update_you_are_looking_for +#define SHA1_Final not_the_SHA1_Final_you_are_looking_for #include SHA1_HEADER #include <zlib.h> and we'll catch anything using the old symbol name. Only cache.h includes the SHA1_HEADER so anyone using the (old) SHA_* functions would hit these #defines and fall over the undefined symbol. -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
