post, it looks like AC_PREREQ might do the trick as well. Renames are not handled well by CVS... :-) / Marcus Comstedt (ACROSS) (Hail Ilpalazzo!)

like any other contributor. I'd rather avoid that route simply because it makes me depend on the progress between two other parties I have no control over, and knowing all too well how things works in the real world that could easily take months. For my own sake I'd be satisfied with a simple email from Uwe saying "Ok". Then I'd consider it safe for me to add those little functions to CC Mode and therefore to FSF just like any other change I make. (. Or hey, you haven't caught on to my diabolical plan for personal profit, have you? I was sitting here in my castle cellar, watching tubes bubble in the moonlight, and all of a sudden I realized that those functions actually contains a wonderful algorithm that will provide me with endless riches and world domination if I just could scheme to get them away from IDA. So I crafted this insidious plan, adding 4000 lines of font locking code to CC Mode just to make it look believable. And like all evil masterminds I'm spilling it all to show how clever I am. .) Anyway, this issue has made me think about other things I might write. If I make a library that is intended to be used not only in Pike, I'd be inclined to keep the copyright to avoid being hampered by things like this, and then only contribute the pike glue for it. The practical effect would be little else than that the library gets a copyright notice in COPYRIGHT, wouldn't it? / Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS Previous text: >2002-11-11 21:18: >Subject: pike.el >-------------------------------------------------------------------- >Perhaps it is better for us to talk to FSF.

includes one module A, linking to GPL:ed code, and another module B, linking to GPL-incompatible code, one shouldn't use both A and B in the same program. Technically, *use* is still allowed, of course, but if I distribute code that uses both A and B, I can expect the author of the GPL:ed code to be pissed at me. Do you agree with this interpretation? So one should make sure to document which modules depend on GPL:ed code (i.e. modules that require the use of the LGPL->GPL upgrade clause), and modules that depend on GPL-incompatible code (defined as code the license of which does *not* allow upgrading to the GPL). / Niels Möller () Previous text: >2002-10-08 17:55: >Subject: Split >-------------------------------------------------------------------- >No, LGPL is not OK if the code is GPL. > >We cannot have GPL or other non-LGPL/MPL compatible code in the pike >distribution (or CVS), so if they did not agree to the relicensing, >the module can not be included in Pike. > > / Per Hedbor () >

Pike 8.0 release 15 (8.0.1738) now available
by william＠welliver.org 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Hello, Friends of Pike! The Pike development team is pleased to announce the 15th release of Pike 8.0: build 8.0.1738. I’m in the process of submitting updates for homebrew and pkgsrc, so the new version should appear there in the near future. As always, bug reports, comments and suggestions are welcome! Bill ---- Source: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/all/8.0.1738/Pike-v8.0.1738.tar.gz Binary builds: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/download/pub/pike/all/8.0.1738/ RPMs for RHEL/CentOS: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/download/pub/pike/all/8.0.1738/el6 https://pike.lysator.liu.se/download/pub/pike/all/8.0.1738/el7 https://pike.lysator.liu.se/download/pub/pike/all/8.0.1738/el8 Windows Installer: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/all/8.0.1738/Pike-v8.0.1738-Windows7-x… Changes since Pike 8.0.1116 (release 14) New Features ------------ o Calendar Updated to use tzdata2021e. o Parser.XML.Tree Added set_text() to update the contents of a text node. o Sql.Sql Add query_db() to API. o SSL.SSLFile Add {query,set}_timeout(). This adds an API to set an optional timeout to be used for blocking operations. When the timeout expires it is handled as if the peer sent a fatal internal error alert. o Standards.PEM Added helper methods, including: get_certificates() , get_private_keys(), get_private_key() and decrypt_fragment(). o Runtime and EFUNS - describe_backtrace() now reports cpu time --with-profiling. - decode_value can be called with codec -1, which disables decoding of functions, objects, programs and types. Bug Fixes --------- o crypt Fixed a bug which caused crypt() with a random salt to sometimes return "*0" instead of an encrypted password. o Concurrent - The future generated by ->timeout() would not necessarily resolve with the fullfilled or rejected values if the original Promise/Future was resolved or rejected before hitting the timeout. - If the original promise resolves or rejects, we now attempt to unschedule the timeout call_out from the backend we scheduled it in, not the one (now) configured in the Future. o Critbit - Fix a number of memory and behavior errors. o Inotify add_watch() now returns -1 for filsystem-related failures that may be due to the filsystem being in flux. o Image.BMP Improved size check better detects malformed BMP images. o Image.GIF - Improve detection of malformed LZW bit sizes. - Improve detection of malformed LZW dictionary extensions. o Image.ILBM - Guard alloca() allocations with check_c_stack(). - Improved length accounting in unpackByteRun1(). o Image.JPEG - Do not over-allocate memory for decoded image. - Limit decoded size of images to 2 GB. o Image.PCX Improved size checks better detect malformed PCX images. o Image.PNG Improved size check better detects malformed PNG images. o Image.PSD Improved size check better detects malformed PSD images. o Image.TGA - Improve detection of malformed TGA images. - Correctly update pointer when horizontal or vertical flipping is requested by the TGA image. o Image.TIFF Improved size checks in image decoding o Image.TIM Improved size checks better detect malformed TIM images. o Image.WBF Improved size check better detects malformed WBF images. o Image.X Guard alloca() allocations with check_c_stack(). o Image.XCF Fixed to properly initialize the layer mask structure. o Image.XWD Improved size check better detects malformed XWD images. o Protocols.LDAP.client LDAP connections secured with TLS/SSL now timeout if the server does not respond within 10 seconds. o Sql.mysql Improved character set handling o Sql.pgsql Numerous bug fixes. Building & Tools ---------------- o Improved check for stack direction to also report correct results when compiling with Clang 11. o _TIME_BITS is now set to 64, to get a 64-bit time_t on 32-bit systems running glibc 2.34 or newer. o Improvements to building and installer code signing on macOS. o Fixes to better support building with future versions of GNU make. o Use updated FFI API in Java module, to better support recent libffi. o Fix testsuite generation for BSD m4 users; POSIX systems must continue to use GNU m4 (gm4).
