To whom it may interest. Since I am fear now to deal with vendor branches (while latest issue still unclear, was it done right or wrong, and at the moment of writing this I believe it is right), I prefer to inform about my future actions beforehead. As you can read in ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/regex/README GNU stops to update regex as standalone library. Since I want to upgrade our grep to 2.4.2, I must to upgrade libregex first to version which is included into grep 2.4.2. I found it compatible. This is 3 files only (regex.c regex.h posix/regex.h). It means all other files of gnu/lib/libregex (configure, NEWS, etc. will be removed). The question is the same as the latest getopt* removal issue we discuss: how they can be removed properly, from HEAD branch or somehow else? Remember, this files still may be actual for not regex-upgraded FreeBSD 5 and 4. -- Andrey Chernov | http://ache.pp.ru/Received on Wed Feb 18 2004 - 15:47:28 UTC
