Thanks, seems better now after your change. > Can you please explain how you plan to use this > package for other packages?

I "#include" headers from it in some of my C projects, e.g: ``` shlomif[fcs]:$trunk/fc-solve/source$ ack --sort --cc rinutils | head -10 board_gen/find_deal.c:8:#include <rinutils/longlong.h> board_gen/make_multi_boards.c:13:#include "rinutils/rinutils.h" cl_callback_range.h:11:#include "rinutils/rinutils.h" dbm_hashtable.h:17:#include "rinutils/rinutils.h" dbm_move_to_string.h:11:#include "rinutils/rinutils.h" dbm_procs.h:15:#include "rinutils/portable_time.h" dbm_procs.h:215: const_AUTO(mytime, rinutils_get_time()); delta_states.h:17:#include "rinutils/bit_rw.h" delta_states_test_common.h:10:#include "rinutils/rin_cmocka.h" fc_pro_iface.c:10:#include "rinutils/rinutils.h" shlomif[fcs]:$trunk/fc-solve/source$ shlomif[fortune]:$trunk/fortune-mod$ ack --sort --cc rinutils | head -10 util/fortune-mod-common.h:67:#include <rinutils/count.h> util/fortune-mod-common.h:68:#include <rinutils/unused.h> ``` I was told debian policy didn't approve of using bundled copies in the source (see e.g. this thread: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2020/03/msg00003.html ). gnulib is GPLed, large, and intended to be embedded piecemeal in GNU projects. There may be better libraries for my use case, but I extracted lib-rinutils for my specific needs. -- Shlomi Fish https://www.shlomifish.org/ Give me ASCII or give me deaþ! — https://www.shlomifish.org/humour.html
