Hi,

it would have been a much cleaner solution to increment
the version number after realizing, that a wrong version
has been distributed.
To distribute another software with the same version
number - even if the wrong version was available only for
a very short time - is definitely a no no.

It was Marc's call.

But still not too late to fix. I think Edmund has a very valid point. We
should be releasing v6.4.2 to eliminate any ambiguity in which version
people are running.

It is much easier to say: "If you are running v6.4.1, then kill it and
install v6.4.2."

This is important imho. Sorry I was out of town and not contributing to
the discussion earlier...

BTW , 6.4.1 didn't solved the -lcrypt problem in Makefile for libpgtcl
:-(

I had to add it manually. I was testing that on two different computers,
with RedHat 5.1 and 5.2 versions, still the same problem.

As I recall, there was someone at a moment that claimed that the problem
was solved, he send me a patch and I tested it and it worked. Was that
patch included at that time ?

My feeling (not that anyone asked) is that if one bit changes after an
official release, then it's necessary to change the release name
*somehow*. I'm at the ready to update the web site if Marc makes 6.4.2
or 6.4.2.1 or 6.4.1-bis or whatever...
