Subject: new snapshot available: gzip-1.9.15-17f5c
Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2018 23:25:19 -0800

I'm going to release gzip-1.10 this year.
Any testing would be most appreciated.
See the NEWS below.

      gzip: fix bug in signal-handling fix
      * gzip.c (remove_output_file): Fix typo.
      gzip: fix use of uninitialized memory

====================================================
NEWS:

** Changes in behavior

  Compressed gzip output no longer contains the current time as a
  timestamp when the input is not a regular file.  Instead, the output
  contains a null (zero) timestamp.  This makes gzip's behavior more
  reproducible when used as part of a pipeline.  (As a reminder, even
  regular files will use null timestamps after the year 2106, due to a
  limitation in the gzip format.)

** Bug fixes

  A use of uninitialized memory on some malformed inputs has been fixed.
  [bug present since the beginning]

  A few theoretical race conditions in signal handers have been fixed.
  These bugs most likely do not happen on practical platforms.

The attached patch fixes two warnings generated by Oracle Developer Studio 12.6 
on Solaris 10 sparc. The patch doesn't fix any real bugs and so is not urgent. 
All tests pass on this platform.

If the attached patch is installed, we can also remove the "-Wunreachable-code" 
line from configure.ac.

I think you meant "AIX 7.2", where 'uname -a' outputs something like "AIX 
power8-aix 2 7 00FA74164C00". I checked by trying both AIX 7.1 (00F84C0C4C00) 
and AIX 7.2 (00FA74164C00) with xlc, and on both platforms an ordinary 
'configure' failed complaining about too-narrow time_t, whereas "./configure 
CC='xlc -q64' AR='ar -X64'" succeeded with all tests passing, and this matches 
your report.

Thanks Paul,
Those seem extremely unlikely to cause trouble, so I've just applied
that along with (in your name) this suggested additional change:

With the current version on Savannah, 'make distcheck' fails for me on Ubuntu 
18.04 as shown at the end of this email. This glitch seems to have been 
introduced in February 2016 by the commit "maint: dist-check.mk: remove .deps 
dirs before comparing". Although the attached patch works around the problem, I 
didn't install it as I'm puzzled as to why the 2016 patch was needed since "make 
distclean" should remove any .deps subdirectories.
