Hello everyone! As you may have seen, I started getting the release_1_6 branch in sync with trunk in a couple of recent commits, in preparation for the 1.6.1 release. They're almost in sync, except for the following: Outstanding changes: *) Anders: r32722 and r32801, enabling and disabling cURL's --remote- time: so, I gather we're just as if r32722 (addition of --remote- time) had never gone in, yes/no? any word on the development of this feature? should I schedule it for 1.6.1? keep in trunk for the time being, instead? *) Markus: r31954, r32194, "merge" function for universal building (and r32500 and r32501, Ryan's related typo fixes): last I read on this list, there were concerns about changing the platforms for which we build universal, with respect to universal binaries that were built for the previous set of platforms. Any advise on what should be done? Are we good to go releasing this code to the public? Or should we instead keep it in the oven a bit longer? Blocked changes: *) James: all changes related to the addition of MacPorts paths to / etc/paths.d and /etc/manpaths.d (r31491, r31492, r31495, r31496, r31520, r31600, r31946), as we're still using the postflight script (much improved this time round, thankfully! -- I've received quite some good feedback this time round). So... anything else I might be missing? Now is the time to chime in ;-) I'll be posting an rc for 1.6.1 as soon as I get a chance. Regards,... -jmpp

I'd like to see the "merge" function in 1.6.1. It will simplify the openssl port, and could be used for cairo and other ports as the need arises. But, as I said elsewhere, configure.universal_archs should be changed to just the two 32-bit architectures, and then the "merge" function should be changed to use configure.universal_archs instead of its own list of architectures.
