Ah. Then push a 0.5.3 out now? Release early, release often :)

It seems something is missing here..

Strange. Unfortunatly the alpha-boxes for debian developers are currently 
down, so I cannot easily try...

"uname -m" gives "alpha" on alpha and "parisc64" on hppa.

It does. There must be some other problem :)

According to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=19;filename=olsrd-404899.diff;att=1;bug=404899
you need to change two things:

@@ -55,6 +55,7 @@
 
 LIBNAME ?=	olsrd_cfgparser.so.0.1

 endif
 
 CFLAGS +=	-DMAKELIB



And then it built on alpha.

I actually ment "you" more in the plural form and to distinguish from myself. 
I'm just a maintainer for a distribution, I'd be happy if you release a new 
version, as it saves me work and/or fixes bugs for me, but who am I to demand 
a new release :)

It just seems to me that CVS-HEAD has some nice fixes which would warrant a 
0.5.3 version ;)
