For what it's worth, I noted in the comment with the patches initial submission, that it was originally tested with suse 3.5.7 that comes with opensuse!... (hey, fixing the version I was using was the first place to try the patch...)... So applying it to a suse 3.5.7-xxxx for a compat fix, wouldn't be difficult. Note, though I said I wasn't adamant about backporting, I am pushing more to at least backport it into the 3.5 series. -linda I'm not adamant about backporting the fix, but it might be a good idea to backport this to the time that the regression was introduced (i.e. client's managing widelinks (symlinks on the server) could be a security risk, and was thus disabled). At the very least I'd like to see it early in the 3.6 series if though with 360 in rc2, I understand the "process discomfort" associated with putting it in there -- if I was a project manager, I'd say no as well, but as a user, I can still want it! ;-) The impact on the code is trivial. To minimize the security risk, I'd only announce the feature or new param, in the context of a 'bugfix' to allow previous functionality. That way in considering Andrews comments about some users wanting to try out anything 'new' w/o reading the documentation, such problems might be ameliorated. Tested under 3.5.7 (opensuse) as well as 3.6.0-rc2(tarball). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
