Chet, Thanks for your response.
Is this clone NOT a dev branch? I'm thinking you're saying that it is not. My objective in using the clone is to get as close to a "release" as possible... a beta branch(?) for daily use to identify possible bugs (experimental GCC, bash itself, other software that uses bash). Is there a "better" branch that I could use for this purpose? Best regards and "see you next year", George...

If they don't, it's a bug. The idea is to have as few dependencies (no pun intended) in the releases as possible. I suppose I could make the depend target conditional on the release status, but I've never done it. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU c...@case.edu http://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
