Hi folks,
With no response to this previous request, for a requirement to
build gettext under CI, and a new release 1.4.1 available
upstream, would anyone have an issue
with my releasing an NMU?
Not at all.
With NMU perms, can I push to libunistring main branch and deploy?
No idea.
Yes.
This probably needs better documenting, but for the moment [1].

I've summarized that email, along with a few others on a similar
subject I've written, and given it a home at [1], in an effort to
capture the kind of process I try to follow (most of the time).
Please say if there's anything shocking, obviously missing or wrong
there! Or if you have any comments, generally.

it looks fine for me.
Only question about Alphabetic order, which one ?
Today it seems an almost ASCII order where Uppercase and Lowercase
are all considered Uppercase.
If I do a "sort" (LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8) and compare

the position of "-" and "_" seems different depending on the Local used
That seems to be similar to the order in setup.ini - strcasecmp or
rpmvercmp?
Yes, this seems to be an attempt at the same ordering as used in
setup.ini. [1]

I guess ignoring case is maybe kind of helpful, so you don't have to
remember the correct casing to locate an entry,
But yeah, the point that if I'm going to ask people to keep the list
sorted, what the correct ordering is exactly should be well-defined, is
excellently made :)
