Wow,
I thought you've forgotten about grub+reiser4 already.. ;)

It seems, that I was inaccurate when releasing reiser4progs>1.0.5
and some version numbers remain not updated. Would you please
grep for "1.0.5" in the latest packages?

Thanks!
Edward.

Re: reiser4->GRUB

                  Edward, take a look at this
/home/eiserfs/reiser4progs-1.0.7 # grep 1.0.5 -r *

==========================================
ChangeLog:      1.0.5 version.
configure:        *\ [01].* | *\ 2.[0-9].* | *\ 2.1[0-5].*)
configure:        *\ [01].* | *\ 2.[0-9].* | *\ 2.1[0-5].*)
configure:        *\ [01].* | *\ 2.[0-9].* | *\ 2.1[0-5].*)
configure:{ echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for libaal version = 1.0.5" >&5
configure:echo $ECHO_N "checking for libaal version = 1.0.5... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
configure:libaal_config_major_version=`echo 1.0.5 | \
configure:libaal_config_minor_version=`echo 1.0.5 | \
configure:libaal_config_micro_version=`echo 1.0.5 | \
configure:{ echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for libaal-minimal version = 1.0.5" >&5
configure:echo $ECHO_N "checking for libaal-minimal version = 1.0.5... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
configure:libaal_config_major_version=`echo 1.0.5 | \
configure:libaal_config_minor_version=`echo 1.0.5 | \
configure:libaal_config_micro_version=`echo 1.0.5 | \
configure.in:AC_CHECK_LIBAAL(aal, 1.0.5, ,exit)
configure.in:           AC_CHECK_LIBAAL(aal-minimal, 1.0.5, ,exit)
================================================
               while : 
/home/reiserfs/reiser4progs-1.0.7 # grep 1.0.7 -r *
               produces only this:
ChangeLog:      1.0.7 version.
reiser4progs.spec:Version: 1.0.7
            
All above iz valid for reiser4progs-1.0.6 too.

I'm a little confused which version of r4progs is latest, 
some one from gentoo portage lunched v 1.0.7 while v1.0.6 resides at official reiser4progs site
Thanks
Sinisa

reiser4->grub

[Denic Sinisa]

Hallo,Edward.
I sent you reiser4progs(1.05.,1.06.1.07) tree grep results a few days ago, you probably didn't see it...(haven't any responce of you).
I've got an idea, about these linking problems.Want to hear your opinion. 
Is it posible that linking errors between grub-reiser4 and reiser4progs accure due the toolchain incompatibility?
Maybe grub-reiser4-2005 and reiser4progs aren't supposed to be compiled together, with an x86_64 gcc compiler(linker), I haven't try x86 one yet.

Yes, I've got it.
I'll try to take a look at this at leisure.

Thanks!
