HEADSUP: gdbm ABI on x86

HEADSUP: gdbm ABI on x86

[Yaakov Selkowitz]

Some background:

The version of gdbm in the 32-bit distro was actually ABI 3 but carried 
a patch from the previous maintainer to artificially bump it to 4 for 
extraneous reasons.  The current version of gdbm really is ABI 4 
however, and not wanting to carry a patch indefinitely, I had not 
updated gdbm since I adopted it.  (The 64-bit distro had a newer version 
from the beginning and so was unburdened by this historical baggage.)

After closely examining the API changes between 1.8.3 (ABI 3) and 1.9+ 
(ABI 4) as well as how the library is typically used, I believe they are 
sufficiently compatible on 32-bit architectures.  Therefore, I have 
proceeded to update the x86 gdbm to finally match the current upstream 
(and our x86_64 package), but strongly recommend that packages which use 
gdbm be rebuilt with libgdbm-devel-1.12-1 ASAP to be safe.

Besides my own packages, the following are affected:

clisp                                        Ken Brown
exim                                         Pierre A. Humblet
libaprutil1                                  David Rothenberger
mutt                                         Marco Atzeri
nmh                                          David Levine
perl                                         Achim Gratz
qsf                                          Jari Aalto
suck                                         Jari Aalto
zsh                                          Peter A. Castro

TIA,

I've rebuilt this (x86 only) and uploaded it to my release area.  I 
won't upload the !ready file until Achim has a chance to rebuild maxima.

Achim, you can get my new build of clisp from

   http://sanibeltranquility.com/cygwin/

Thanks.  I'll probably get to that over the weekend, but I'll let you
know if I manage to do it earlier.

I'm standing by with the maxima rebuild (actually I've done a minor update
to 5.38.1).

OK, I'll go ahead with the !ready file in about 10 minutes.

OK… that's be before or after the update cycle at *:40?

OK, then I'm good.  :-)

I am still waiting for 5.22.3 to be released upstream.  Apparently some
security fix is still controversial, so I don't think the release will
happen very soon.  I have however run all the tests on x86 again after
updating Cygwin and they still pass, so I'd think we are OK without a
rebuild at the moment.

David, I believe that this is the last package yet to be rebuilt.  Any 
chance of an update or rebuild?
