Re: jigdo 0.6.7(solaris8)/woody template: this is not a template




Hello,


The md5sum call of jigdo-file e.g. for the template file doesnot work under 
Solaris 8 :-(( . But If I miss the md5 check at all the message about an invalid 
template file reappears. That means that other code for checking header 
compatibilty may be also solaris incompatible. 

Obviously jigdo uses glibc and therefor may not be able to finish under Solaris. 
I assume the stream calls may be different for solaris . Is there still a chance 
to run jigdo under solaris ? Maybe statically linked jigdo-file ?

regards,	dieter
