First off, the code changes since v2.1.18 are in an unknown state.=C2=A0 I = can't possibly "just ship".=C2=A0 But if we had a perfect oracle of code qu= ality who said it was good to go, we'd need to know=C2=A0*how*=C2=A0to ship= this=E2=80=A6 so I wanted to answer that. The main problem for me was that "distcheck" failed.=C2=A0 It complained ab= out automake things, so I punted this to some colleagues.=C2=A0 Matthew Hor= sfall filed #881 <https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-sasl/pull/881>, trying= to get distcheck in a passing state.=C2=A0 GitHub user flowerysong mention= ed their PR #855 <https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-sasl/pull/855>, which = may address these problems in the same or other ways =E2=80=94 I haven't lo= oked yet!=C2=A0 They do add a workflow for automated testing, which would b= e great. I've reached out to Quanah, who did the 2.1.28 release, and who has been mu= ch more active in the project than I have, to help get a further sense of t= he state of things. I'm at IETF this week, so I'm not sure I'll make much more progress on this= , but it remains high on my to-do list. --=C2=A0 rjbs ------------------------------------------ Cyrus: SASL Permalink: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/sasl/T4bfea6b1dc01d766-M2b31b9= 8400470ff8dbd9aaf4 Delivery options: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/sasl/subscription --17622945551.22De.34673 Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2025 17:15:55 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE html> <html><html><html><body><div>Hi,<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>To try to= figure out how we can move this forward, today I started running through t= he process in README.release.
