Sounds good. People that require this version in the future can simply patch/port this package. At the very least, we should track the latest 5.9.x for BR 2018.02 LTS then (as it seems that release will include 5.6.x and 5.9.x). I believe that is currently 5.9.4, with 5.9.5 coming in March. Their patch version updates contain hundreds of bug fixes. Thanks. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
