I recently submitted a bug-fix to the code in pattern.c in the
delete sources to allow the specification of . or .. in the filename
of a delete file.
Having done more work on the bug-fix I submitted, I have concluded
that it's no good. I have fixed it properly, but that fix involves
extensive changes to my code (i.e. I've rewritten the regular
expression routines so that they go n times faster, and as a
side-effect of that Jay's bug was fixed), so I want to do a lot of
banging on the new code before submitting it for installation in the
next release.
I am going to recompile new versions of the code I have modified,
and ask watchmakers and other staff members who use delete to use my
new versions, in order to flush out any bugs in the new code that I
may not have found.
I'll let you know when I've got something that I am comfortable
asking you to install in the source tree. Until then, please do NOT
install the patch I submitted in the message referenced by this one.
Thanks.
