the same process.

what is required.

(fixed by Andy in 1.13)

(Slowaris) to succeed as well.

- Add spec file for RPM packaging.

Patch by andyh@myinternet.com.au (Andy Hird)
1.12 Nov 05 12:00 2001
- Change code to utilize numerical constants
instead of the magic strings.
- Change several sub routines into methods
of the object to reduce arguments passed.
- Avoid double unlocking (DESTROY).
- Added some nice tests.
- Pulled out stale_lock code to check once
at initial lock attempt instead of repeated
checks during the blocking lock loop.
This may change functionality slightly in
that a lock will never "become" stale if
it wasn't already stale when the lock
attempt initiated.
- Shared lock feature now functional.
