A new version of (stable package) lin-seti is out. Changelog:

- Fixed a bug that made lin-seti segfault because of missing
  checks when reading files from disk, thanks to Jing Tuo
  <mopa@163.net>
- Fixed a bug in cache enlargement: directories created had
  wrong permissions, thus preventing non-root users that
  installed lin-seti to access them, thanks to
  Matt Barras <hey0joe@yahoo.com>


There is no need to change the existing ebuild. Old one with a new name works
perfectly.

Maybe it is also the case to purge all ebuild of lin-seti older than version 0.7.3.

Reproducible: Always

Unfortunately it is not!

I just discovered that this version introduces a nasty bug that makes lin-seti segfault under certain (common) circumstances. A pity it never happened to me while I was testing this release. Anyway, it is all my fault. 

I'm putting together a quick bugfix release that should be ready later this evening. In the mean while lin-seti 0.7.4 should be masked. I'll let you know as soon as version 0.7.5 is released.

Thank you, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

OK...
Just released bugfix version 0.7.5.
This time it works.

Ebuild is same, no changes needed other than its name.

Again, I'm sorry... one thing is a bug in a software, another is it being merged as stable into portage.

Thank you.
