sed - getting latest gnulib?

[arn...@skeeve.com]

Hi. When I clone the sed repo and run ./bootstrap, it brings in a version
of gnulib that is not the head of the gnulib master.

As a result, Range Interpretation isn't rational (even with LC_ALL=C !!!).

What's the right way to move to a later gnulib? Can someone do that?

Thanks,

Arnold

Hi Arnold. Thanks for reporting :)

Yep. The sed repo has a git submodule in gnulib/. This means that when
you clone the sed repository and init/update the gnulib submodule (via
the bootstrap script) you get a concrete commit of gnulib, not the head.

As a result, Range Interpretation isn't rational (even with LC_ALL=C !!!).

What's the right way to move to a later gnulib? Can someone do that?

I will update the submodule reference (i.e. to pull upstream changes to
the submodule) after making sure that all the tests still pass.

Yes, it brings one that's tested. :)

I suppose that's --with-included-regex.

FYI, I updated the gnulib git submodule this weekend.

Much thanks. I pulled this morning and built and Range Interpretation
is Rational, which is really great. It even passes 'make check'.

Glad to hear that. Thanks to you for reporting.
