Title: ...and the dead awoke and are walking...
Post by: GonoszTopi on July 07, 2009, 08:42:53 PM: After more than 4 years of death-like sleep, beecrypt-4.2.0 is released.

Side note to our users: that was four-and-a-half year. No coding, no support, no nothing. So just be patient ;)

Post by: wuischke on July 07, 2009, 09:07:27 PM: So...it'll be in Debian by 2018?

Seriously: This is good news albeit unexpected.

EDIT: I mean the aMule project.

Post by: Vollstrecker on July 09, 2009, 08:43:27 AM: The name sounds likeit has something to do with crypto stuff. Maybe an alternate lib to support.

Post by: Vollstrecker on July 09, 2009, 10:45:00 AM: OK, so let's see if cryptopp will be supported in future, or if I have to package beecrypt. Btw. 5.6.0 on debian makes no problems.

Cross your fingers.

I won't look at a lib that has been dead for 4 years. At least not until it has proved to be really alive again.

Post by: ^marcell^ on July 09, 2009, 09:45:32 PM: We don't have to upgrade, do we? Or is there a serious issue considering the current crypto library?
Title: Re: ...and the dead awoke and are walking...
Post by: wuischke on July 09, 2009, 09:47:49 PM: Currently, no. But there was a time with many crash reports due to bad crypto++ in distributions.

I checked it. It's a discussion about switching to a different crypto library. But it doesn't explain why there should be a new one.

Title: Re: ...and the dead awoke and are walking...
Post by: ^marcell^ on July 12, 2009, 12:49:47 PM: Maybe I should be more specific: why do we need to switch from crypto++5.5.2 to crypto++5.6.0?
I understand that the new version contains some bug-fixes. But: is it really necessary for aMule?
If not I would suggest to wait for a more suitable release.
Title: Re: ...and the dead awoke and are walking...
Post by: Stu Redman on July 12, 2009, 01:10:07 PM: Well, with the build-at-the-users-site philosophy we have to use whatever the user throws at us, meaning whatever is included in his current distro. And usually you should always use latest versions of course - there are reasons people are working on the software. And they will quickly reject bug reports about old versions (like we do). However, sometimes regressions happen.

Maybe the old concept of bundling the crypto stuff with aMule wasn't so bad after all.
