After the patch I installed to inetutils [1], I think actually the only problem is that the gnulib 'fdl' module is a moving target. That doesn't really work, as Karl explained, since the main manual needs to be updated manually whenever there is a FDL version update in gnulib. Right

After the patch I installed to inetutils [1], Which is good, thanks. So in gnulib, I propose we deprecated 'fdl' and ask maintainers to depend directly on 'fdl-1.3' or whatever version they need. Thoughts? Makes sense to me.

test-memchr failure on rawhide

2009-05-07 Thread Jim Meyering
FYI, while doing pre-release testing for coreutils-7.4, I noticed a single gnulib test failure on Fedora rawhide. It looks like a bug in 's memchr macro. Reported here: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/499689 Quick summary: cat > k.c <<\EOF #include int main() { return !!(memchr (0, 'a', 0)); }

We got a report about sockaddr_storage on Solaris 2.6: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3524 How about the patch below? I'm unsure about HAVE_STRUCT_SOCKADDR_STORAGE=1 but sockaddr_storage is POSIX, so it seemed like a good default to assume it exists unless some te

auxdir and multiple configure.ac's

2009-05-07 Thread Simon Josefsson
In GNU SASL I have one top-level configure.ac (for command line tools, self-tests, etc) and one lib/configure.ac (for the library). There is one gnulib m4-base in gl/m4 and one in lib/gl/m4. Both top-level and lib/ import the maintainer-makefile module, which is needed for downloading translation
