Hi Bruno,
I pushed the attached patch fixing a tiny issue I noticed. When you
updated the POSIX links to POSIX.1-2024, the headers included in
POSIX.1-2017 but removed in POSIX.1-2024 also had their links
updated. This can seen on the stropts.h page on gnu.org, for example,
which has a POSIX link which leads you to a 404 error [1].
I assume you likely did something like this:
$ prev='@url{https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/'
$ curr='@url{https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/'
$ sed -i "s|$prev|$curr|g" doc/posix-headers/*.texi
This does not work since doc/posix-headers/*.texi contains headers that
have been removed from POSIX. If we were running the command on
doc/posix-functions/*.texi that would be fine since we move functions
removed from POSIX to doc/pastposix-functions/*.texi.
What do you think about creating a doc/pastposix-headers/*.texi to make
it a bit easier to maintain? I can write the patch, but figured it was
worth asking before reorganizing things.
