[Cerowrt-devel] Fwd: [Dnsmasq-discuss] dnssec-check-unsigned breaks linux.conf.au

[Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant]

It is 2.73rc9(!) and I submitted a patch to openwrt this morning to bump 
to that version (then I submitted version 2 to sort out the line wrapping)

There are a number of people hoping that a release is imminent but stuff 
just keeps on being found.

Stop testing & looking in dark corners you fools :-)
