I am working on GNU a2ps. I have tracked down a test failure to the lack of support for syntax tables in gnulib's regex module (removed by commit 151e40bb39 which switches from GNU regex 0.12 to the glibc version).
This took me quite a long time to work out, since syntax tables are still documented in regex.texi. I sympathise if the gnulib maintainers don't want to reintroduce them; in that case, could their removal please be flagged up in the docs? Also, do the maintainers have any better suggestion for what I should do than revert to GNU regex 0.12 for a2ps? It relies on syntax tables for its style sheets, and I don't want to have to introduce an incompatibility to a mature program. -- https://rrt.sc3d.org
