Hi Vincent,

Thanks for reporting this issue on version 6.2.2. I will check it and revert it as soon as possible.

Hello,

In Debian, we build the gnuchess-book package using gnuchess --addbook. It now
fails to build [1] because this command doesn't return anymore. This change has
been introduced in 6.2.2 (it works fine with 6.2.1).

Would it be possible to revert this change?

Thanks,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,

I have realized that this bug was reported some time ago, and I did fix it in the subversion repository. However, I did not release a version including that bug fix. If you want, you could take the sources from subversion and build a version for you. Anyway, I will wrap up the last changes and release 6.2.3 within the next week with a fix for the --addbook bug.

Thanks. I've uploaded this quick patch in Debian for now, but I'll revert if you
upload a better one:

Thanks Antonio, I'll wait until you release the new version.
