Oh, so a change in regex.h (in gnulib) propagates to a change in regexprops-generic.texi (in gnulib) via some tool that lives in the findutils repository? That really suggests that this tool (lib/regexprops.c together with parts of lib/regextype.[hc]) should be moved to the gnulib repository. You would still maintain this code (since it contains specific code for the findutils "context"). But it could be executed on the gnulib side with a simple top-level "make doc/regexprops-generic.texi" rule. More precisely, the table regex_map and the functions get_regex_type_name get_regex_type_flags get_regex_type_synonym get_regex_type_context should be moved alongside with lib/regexprops.c. Whereas the function get_regex_type should stay in findutils. Hope I got the dependencies right? Bruno
