Description:
This is a followup to a request to update config.guess and config.sub files that are from 2003. This included files,

mysql-query-browser/source/linux/gtksourceview/config.sub
mysql-query-browser/source/linux/gtksourceview/config.guess

The current version says "2005-09-19", but this is 100% incorrect. Whoever "updated" these files, just changed the timestamp without actually getting the new files! This is like saying that yes, Linux 2.4 is the same as 2.6 because you can go to the sources and change 2.4 to say 2.6!

Anyway, the proof is the diff between the two versions which is,

--- mysql-query-browser-1.1.14/mysql-query-browser/source/linux/gtksourceview/config.sub        2005-09-02 06:30:18.000000000 -0500
+++ mysql-query-browser-1.1.17/mysql-query-browser/source/linux/gtksourceview/config.sub        2005-09-19 03:29:49.000000000 -0500

How to repeat:
Look in the files.

Suggested fix:
AT LEAST, change the timestamp back to their original values. This is a serious bug (not a wishlist or otherwise), because the timestamp is screwed up which screws up any automated method of updating these files.

lol no idea why they changed those files like that but I'm updating them to real 2005 versions :)
Unfortunately 1.1.18 is already on the way for a release, so it'll have to wait until 1.1.19
sorry for the trouble!
