On my openSUSE:Tumbleweed system, the info pages seem to have changed
the quoting style for the strftime for the conversion specifiers from
the good old '%a' or `%a' styles to ‘%a’.
$ info libc date calendar format | grep '^[^a-z%]*%.[^a-z%]*$' | od -tx1z |
sed 1q
0000000 20 20 20 20 20 e2 80 98 25 61 e2 80 99 0a 20 20 > ...%a.... <
Hence, the sc_strftime_check check gets skipped:
maint.mk: skipping sc_strftime_check: libc info not installed
0.03 strftime_check
What about changing the grep pattern to the above pattern, or is there a better
way?
diff --git a/cfg.mk b/cfg.mk
