reiserfsprogs 3.6.14 release

reiserfsprogs 3.6.14 release

[Vitaly Fertman]

Hi all, 

the new release is available on our ftp site, 
it includes a few bug fixes:

- in the journal replay code;
- in the balancing code when handling broken leaves;
- in the spec file;
- in reiserfsck when setting the file size limit.


The new pre release 3.6.15-pre1 is also available,
it inlcludes some fixes that are not so well tested:

- in the mount entry detection code when handling 
  not uptodate mtab after the crash;
- in the configure script with generating include/credits.h 
  when cross compiling;
- make bynaries to be 'position independent' when 
  dynamically linked to libc.

Thanks,

My /bin/sh is pdksh, which handles here-documents slightly differently
from bash: for some sequences like \", the backslash is preserved by
bash, but removed by pdksh.  To ensure that a backslash appears in the
here-document, you can escape the backslash with another backslash.
This patch (against 3.6.13, but the problem and fix are the same for
3.6.14) makes the configure script work with pdksh as well as bash.

Hello Paul,

this was changed in 3.6.15-pre1, would you try it?

Yes, that version works.  Thanks, and sorry for the noise.
