In GNU coreutils, we now get this warning during bootstrap:
Notice from module diacrit:
This module is deprecated. Use the module 'uninorm/canonical-decomposition'
instead.
And indeed, the 'diacrit' module is still in use by 1 source:
$ GIT_PAGER= git grep -En 'todiac|tobase'
src/ptx.c:1053: diacritic = todiac (character);
src/ptx.c:1056: base = tobase (character);
src/ptx.c:1338: edited_flag[character] = todiac (character) != 0;
Have a nice day,
Berny
