Re: Dump bison

Gentlemen,     *Years* ago I used to use yacc, but I quit before bison became the _de-facto_ standard.  Thus, upon reading its man page I was surprised and pleased to see the following command-line options available:   --debug   --report=THINGS THINGS comes from the set of 'state', 'itemset',

I've not looked at the build system configuration *at all* closely (perhaps a more accurate reading would be "at all"), but can't you just configure it to not use the offending -W switch when analyzing/compiling the parser's C code?   - *John D. Bell* On 06/18/2018 04:37 PM, Eric S. Raymond v

Re: Should the HAVE_KERNEL_PLL conditional be abolished?

Gentlemen,     A thought from out of left field here -     Would it be possible to simplify the code by using a tool to partially pre-process the code (e.g. CPPP (http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/cppp.html)), defining in turn HAVE_KERNEL_PPS and HAVE_PPSAPI, and then comparing the r

Sorry I missed the meeting. I understand why distro maintainers wouldn't want pre-1.0 code. I thought that you would release 1.0 both as the usual source repo _and_ with "example" packages. I would expect that the maintainers might well repackage to suit their tastes. On 08/07/2017 03:59 PM,

I thought that one necessity before 1.0 were at least preliminary "packaged" version for the major distros - i.e., .deb and .rpm files, conformant to the conventions (file locations, etc.) of the systems that used them. Am I wrong? If not, do you know what the status of these are? On 08/07/201
