Re: Updating a package's gnulib files in CVS

gl_REVISION([abc6ba7cb8ac9acb9acd..]) I don't have any objection to such a feature, but I probably wouldn't use it myself -- I update from gnulib too often to want to munge configure.ac every time. Pretty much the only time I refrain from updating is nearing a release. Best, karl

Troubles with dispose function on oset

2007-11-26 Thread xeos

strncasecmp in strings.h?

2007-11-26 Thread Karl Berry
I received a bug report for Texinfo (about AIX 4.3.3) that strncasecmp was not declared without #include -- that is, strings.h, not string.h. The spec at http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/strcasecmp.html says the same. The strcase gnulib module only mentions string.h, thou
