   5
   6         - Auto debug logging was broken in 1.7.0 (<rdar://problem/15331639>)
   7         - Some gzip'd PPD files could not be used (<rdar://problem/15386424>)

  11           scheduler (<rdar://problem/15382819>)
  12         - The RPM spec file did not list the build requirements; this was on

  18           use of old GNU TLS compatibility type names

  20         - The "make check" test suite did not work on Linux without the
