If you were to read the contribution guidelines in HACKING, you would see that a cloned coreutils directory contains the files you changed, and a cloned gnulib directory does not. >> Here's what I'll push soon. > > Thanks. > > (What's the status of the c89 patch I posted [1]?

I haven't reviewed it, and as such, can't in good conscience accept it. I really don't want to spend time supporting such old compilers. I hope you'll understand. Besides, if you really wanted to, you could build a new enough version of gcc on the system in question. However, as I said before, if enough people clamor for support in coreutils for old compilers, I'll reconsider. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
