I uploaded a "practice" release to ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grep to get the hang of making test releases and releases.
I'd appreciate any feedback: Did I miss or mess something? I think 3 changes need to go in before the 2.5.4 release: 1) Speedup UTF8 matching 2) Remove known failing cases from the release 3) Request updates from the translation project and sync It'd be great if someone could provide feedback on the UTF8 patch. See: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?14472 http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?6264 Any suggestions on best way to keep CVS and release test cases partially out-of-sync? Some idea: * Apply a patch during 'make dist' that disables some tests * Factor out offending cases into separate files that are excluded from dist * Make the test files messy by adding switches to disable some test cases Any preferences? There has been a lot of talk about writing a new uniform and clean test suite. But until someone does it we'll patch what we have. For the version number, I am thinking of keeping it 2.5.* until 2 things happen (or at least one of them): 1) We sync with gawk dfa 2) We fix the failing test cases Cheers, TAA -- Tony Abou-Assaleh Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://tony.abou-assaleh.net
