tinc - Sep 2001 - fixing cannot route packet error

I am seeing a problem that looks the same as that described in
message:

http://mail.nl.linux.org/tinc/2001-06/msg00000.html

titled : Error: cannot route packet - please help


The thread says it is fixed in the CVS version.
I did a "cvs checkout -r CABAL tinc" and installed
that version.  Now tinc always fails trying to
establish the meta-data connection.  I assume I
compiled something wrong.

Anyways, is there going to be a 1.0p5 soon that fixes
this bug, or is there some other way to fix it besides
building CABAL which isn't working for me?

Well CVS is for active development and may not always result in a functional
system. However, you can checkout the exact revision that was in the CVS
repository at the time of the fix by doing this:

cvs checkout -R CABAL -D "1 Jun 2001 10:03:39 +0200" tinc

Please try that and see if it works.

The meta protocol tinc uses to connect to other daemons is being rewritten to
allow for better loop detection/resolving, and better support for daemons
behind NATs. I hope pre5 will be released soon but no guarantees.
