Hello,

I've updated following my binary package builder repositories too.

• https://github.com/tatsushid/h2o-rpm
• https://github.com/tatsushid/h2o-deb

It is highly recommended to update if you use them.

I am sorry but I am not sure if answering to the question at a public place would be a good thing to do at the moment. Please send me a mail if you need such information stating why you need it.

@kazuho Well, it's open-source after all, so what would be the risk in making the commit public? Your comment makes me feel quite strange.

11 months later it is ok, to make the fix public. So linking is ok now.
