21 I was unaware that the tinderbox run hadn't finished. I definetly
22 think it should be fully run through with pkgconf before we fully
23 consider switching the virtual. All the bugs that have been found were
24 fixed, last i checked, only 2 were not verified fixed, but I could not
25 reproduce and after ~2 months of asking people to verify whether the
26 bugs still existed on pkgconf-0.8.9, no one had replied with the
27 results of a test, so i closed them.

29 If you could run it through the tinderbox again Diego, that would be
30 great and we can finish evaluating based on those results.
