Hi Allen, The bug report is now almost a month old. I have not heard a peep from you about it (and not even over beers the following week :). Also, getopt has seen no release in two years.
What is the plan? I know how hard it is as we all are too busy -- but I don't want this to rod. Shall we gently retire getopt? Or shall we mark it as 'valid bug, but design flaw and will not get fixed' and _document it_ and move on? What does GNU getopt do about negative values in short options? What about long options? It was good to have a beer in LA though. Steffen and I will try the same here in Chicago in a few weeks... -- Regards, Dirk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
