That's a valid way to see things, yes. Some time ago, Tim Rühsen configured the Gnulib CI to use the bleeding edge Debian. But I don't want to spend time debugging Debian, therefore I picked a fixed Debian release instead. > However I do agree with you about the utility of ALSO building inetutils > with bleeding edge gnulib. Implemented through https://github.com/gnu-inetutils/ci-check/commit/b68ebfb39d74809422cf8452aefc7309f0b6940e Let's see how it works... Bruno
