Release of version 4.13.3 of sharutils

[Bruce Korb]

GNU sharutils consists of two pairs of utilities: shar and unshar, and
uuencode and uudecode. "shar" makes so-called shell archives out of
many files, preparing them for transmission by electronic mail
services (converting binary data to ascii representations, breaking
the text into multiple shar scripts, etc.). "unshar" is the safe way
to extract and reassemble the original files. It will automatically
strip off the mail headers and other introductory text.

"uuencode" and "uudecode" are programs that convert binary files into
ascii text so that the original data can pass through the email system
without having intermediate hosts "fixing" the files en route.

This is a bug fix release for version 4.13 of sharutils

Great, this archive works even on big endian.

I just spotted few issues you should know about:

(1) _() is defined multiple times:
gcc -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../libopts -I. -I.. -I../lib -I../intl -Wno-format-contains-nul -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m31 -march=z9-109 -mtune=z10 -Wno-format-contains-nul -c uudecode-opts.c
uudecode.c:62:0: warning: "_" redefined [enabled by default]
In file included from uudecode.c:56:0:
uudecode-opts.h:178:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition

(2) uuencode.5 uses undefined macro `.'. That's because leading comment
with license starts with bad empty request:

'.\" Copyright

The apostrophe should be there:

.\" Copyright

Good news and bad news :

Missed the double define guard. Thank you.

I remember fixing a bunch of those years ago. I bet this got overlooked.
(Or magically re-introduced.)

Thank you. - Bruce
