Anyway, instead of attaching the files directly, you can pull the tarball from here: http://autogen.sf.net/data/getpwnam.tar.gz It contains the following: the patch for coreutils/src/Makefile.am: getpw/Makefile.am.patch Hand edited sources: getpw/getpwnam.c getpw/getpwnam-opts.def getpw/getopt.tpl The last is a template for generating the code to use "getopt_long" instead of using libopts: getpw/getopt-getpwnam.c And the rest of the generated sources that are derived by using the standard AutoOpts templates: getpw/getpwnam.1 getpw/getpwnam-opts.c getpw/getpwnam-opts.h getpw/getpwnam.texi getpw/getpwnam.menu It would be my expectation that these would all be distributed and only rebuilt with a special make rule (e.g. ``make gen-getpwnam'') _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
