maint.mk syntax check problems

Hi! I'm currently updating GNU wdiff to use latest gnulib, 2c53fc42. In the process, I've encountered a number of problems with maint.mk syntax checks. 1. main.mk fails its own checks: The checks sc_makefile_at_at_check and sc_prohibit_undesirable_word_seq both fail for me, as the maint.mk file

RE: ACLs on HP NonStop

Hi Bruno I know, it's been a while... but I think I found a problem in ACL support for NonStop. There are file systems and OS version that don't support them, and gnu-lib code thows an error for these. The code I'm referring to is in file-has-acl.c and goes like this: … # elif HAVE_ACLSORT /*

Improve sha1sum speed

Hi, I saw in the todo list for coreutils that improving sha1sum speed was a target. So I worked a bit on that. By using the ideas from the sha1.c file from git sources ( http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=tree;f=block-sha1;hb=pu) which is clearly faster than the one in gnulib, I have been able

Re: Improve sha1sum speed

Thanks for working on this. Looks like my TODO list is reaping rewards :) A few general points. You essentially used Linus' code (albeit by very helpfully isolating the significant differences). It might be easier/required to just include it in gnulib? There are a few files in gnulib that are not

Re: Improve sha1sum speed

There are a few files in gnulib that are not copyright of the FSF, There are? so would Nicolas and Linus need to assign copyright? Evidently.

Re: Improve sha1sum speed

only a few, like sinl.c GNU policy is all or nothing on this. There shouldn't be any.

[PATCH] openat: port to AIX 7.1 with large files

Further investigation into problems GNU tar has on AIX 7.1 revealed a problem with openat that is similar to the recent fstatat problem. I installed the following to fix it. Given the email cited below, this should be the last such issue with AIX 7.1, as gnulib now addresses the issue for openat,
