Re: rx-1.5 tarfile uses ".." for directory name

People are depending on 1.5.   That's just great.  That's just
"kick ya in the crotch, step on your neck" fantastic.  Hey, what's the
latest date in the Changelog of that release?

I've told FSF _repeatedly_ where to find the most recent version.

No, I can't.  It would be extremely useful to do so.  The rx
implementation is woefully under-applied.  It would make perfect sense 
for people to work on helping you deal with the latest release -- but
I don't have time to do that myself and, to first, second, and third
approximations, the rule in the free software world is "ignore Tom
Lord as much as possible".

   Thanks for the quick response. I haven't looked yet, but I guess it is in
   pub/src/hackerlab/hackerlab*tar.gz file.

   This is for the NetBSD packages collection, for example rx is used by
   "cook" (a make(1) replacement) and "rplay" (a network audio player). I
   assume they both use include/rxposix.h and lib/librx.*.

   I'll have to look into it further to see if libhackerlab's version is
   same. If so, can you offer this regex library bundled separately (for
   smaller download)?
