[wpkg-users] FW: hosts.xml problem

[Paul McGrath]

Thanks Stefan,
  The way we configured our hosts xmls in the hosts folder has served us well up to now.  
We used the 'catch all' originally before learning about hosts xml files.  For the last few years we have used the hosts xmls as well and this problem has only now started with WPKG.JS 1.2.
Paul

Paul,

Would you mind replying to the group, so Rainer, the maintainer of WPKG, will know about this problem too.

I am just a regular user, nothing else.

You do have many catch all definitions at the top of your list, so I think this is the problem.

Make sure to have them all in one file, which gets read at last.
I would place them (all containing .+) into the hosts.xml file in the folder containing wpkg.js, since this is always read at last.

Hi Stefan,
  I haven't replied to the list as I didn't think it necessary to involve everyone!
I have just tried your new release candidate and the problem is still there.  The only things I copy are the XSD folder and wpkg.js, so maybe I am missing something else.
  I've attached the two log files for each version for you to compare.
Paul

This has been corrected in one of the release candidates for v1.2.1

Get the latest RC from http://wpkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wpkg/wpkg/stable/1.2/
