Hi, it would have been a much cleaner solution to increment the version number after realizing, that a wrong version has been distributed. To distribute another software with the same version number - even if the wrong version was available only for a very short time - is definitely a no no.

But still not too late to fix. I think Edmund has a very valid point. We should be releasing v6.4.2 to eliminate any ambiguity in which version people are running. It is much easier to say: "If you are running v6.4.1, then kill it and install v6.4.2." This is important imho. Sorry I was out of town and not contributing to the discussion earlier... - Tom

BTW , 6.4.1 didn't solved the -lcrypt problem in Makefile for libpgtcl :-( I had to add it manually. I was testing that on two different computers, with RedHat 5.1 and 5.2 versions, still the same problem. As I recall, there was someone at a moment that claimed that the problem was solved, he send me a patch and I tested it and it worked. Was that patch included at that time ? -- Constantin Teodorescu FLEX Consulting Braila, ROMANIA
