But I removed the ext/ directory where the patched guichan is in. Do you know why I did that?

Comment 3 Simon 2009-12-29 11:07:09 UTC

Wart,
this won't break the compatibility of guichan!

Comment 4 Fedora Update System 2010-01-01 22:10:35 UTC

guichan-0.8.1-4.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12.

Comment 5 Wart 2010-01-01 22:11:58 UTC

Does this also need to be fixed in F11?

Comment 6 Simon 2010-01-01 22:17:44 UTC

no, just in devel... but thx for F-12 fix!
I will give a +1 Karma for this!

Thx for adding this!

Comment 7 Wart 2010-01-01 22:32:56 UTC

It looks like this has already been filed upstream over a year ago and is not part of the latest 0.8.2 release:
