Once I've got a "fix" for tar I'll send a patch. I think the BSD sh has a bug wrt to negating the return code from a pipeline. I'd be happy to do a nightly build on my DragonFly box, and that should catch anything that also doesn't work for FreeBSD. The failure modes were exactly the same - though the DFly box has an additional iconv-related problem (with git-mailinfo) that I still haven't tracked down... Is there a canned script to get me started? One issue is that my server is on dynamic IP, and my lame ISP (the local telco) doesn't give me a proper SMTP relay - they want us to send our mail via HTTP to MSN! Completely lame. So sending mail can be an issue, if the receiver blocks mail from dynamic IPs. - David -- If I have not seen farther, it is because I have stood in the footsteps of giants.
