I suppose since you've asked, that means it is :-) I'll move it. It could use a few more options, e.g., a list of To:/Cc: addresses, a list of programs (e.g., automake, autoconf, bison) for which to report version numbers, in identifying the tools used to bootstrap the package. And maybe even an option to specify a time/date by which to tell which gnulib sources were used. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
