Re: 1.8.4 up for testing/signing

Summary:

    +1 to release

Platform

    Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, build 12F45

    Standard dependencies:
      Apple clang(++) 5.0 (clang-500.2.75)/LLVM 3.3svn
      APR 1.4.5
      APR-Util 1.3.12
      zlib 1.2.5
      httpd 2.2.24
      OpenSSL 0.9.8y
      Java 1.6.0_51
      Python 2.7.2
      Perl 5.12.4
      Ruby 1.8.7
      (SQLite 3.7.12 ... see comments)

    Dependencies from homebrew:
      SQLite 3.8.0.2
      Serf 1.3.2
      BDB 5.3.21
      Swig 2.0.11
      libmagic 5.15

    Other dependencies:
      JUnit 4.11
      ctypesgen svn-r151

Verified:

  Tarball contents and signatures

  (fsfs, bdb) x (local, svnserve, dav)
  check-all-javahl
  check-swig-py
  check-swig-rb
  check-swig-pl

Issues:

  - 'make ctypes-python' fails

  - Swig bindings do not build with the generated wrappers included in
    the tarball. Running autogen.sh regenerates them and the bindings
    then build succesfully.

  - C tests do not work with the --enable-optimize configure option

  - wc-queries-test #3 fails with SQLite 3.8.0, but passes with
    the default system version, 3.7.12.
    -- There is a bug in the test: we should not fail a regression
       test because we do not like how particular version of SQLite
       does queries, as long as the query results are correct.

  - 'make check-javahl' requires 'make install'

  - 'make check-swig-rb' requires 'make install-swig-rb'
    -- 'make install-swig-rb' tries to install "something" into the
       Ruby site dir, which requires root privilege.

GPG Signatures committed to the dist/dev/subversion repository.
