I've nearly got consensus to use the gnulib stat-time module, in which case this would instead be the much simpler: Ok, that sounds good. But what exactly does 'nearly' mean?
It means 3 of the 4 copyright holders have agreed, with less than 24-hour turnaround time; the 4th will likely respond sometime this week: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-07/msg00141.html
But before we can use the gnulib stat-time module, we have to update .gnulib and bootstrap.conf; and I'm holding off on the .gnulib update until after fixed Automake is available in at least Fedora 17 (right now, unless you are manually using automake 1.11.6 or newer, you are injecting a security bug into every other package that uses automake). So any idea how long this will take?
Being a security patch that affects multiple packages, I'm sure it won't be too long in the works. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
