That was the intention with the patch in: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/11718 The patch shouldn't change anything in coreutils (although it needs testing), but it removes some rules from gnulib's copy (that are duplicated in coreutils). Those rules can be merged from coreutils to gnulib later on, though. > Right now, I'm more interested in preparing for a test release than > spending time on that. I understand. /Simon
