Note that minor releases (.3 vs .16 in this case) should only affect files outside of the help2man program such as updated translations, or Debian packaging. For coreutils, which doesn't actually install help2man or use the translation feature, updating to the latest minor version won't actually change the contents of the script (other than having to re-apply the local changes). --bod From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sun Oct 25 09:33:31 2020 Received: (at 44105-done) by debbugs.gnu.org; 25 Oct 2020 13:33:31 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:35998 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1kWg9L-0003oa-5Y for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sun, 25 Oct 2020 09:33:31 -0400 Received: from mail-wr1-f68.google.com ([209.85.221.68]:46418) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1kWg9I-0003oK-SO for 44105-done@debbugs.gnu.org; Sun, 25 Oct 2020 09:33:29 -0400 Received: by mail-wr1-f68.google.com with SMTP id n6so9494257wrm.13 for <44105-done@debbugs.gnu.org>; Sun, 25 Oct 2020 06:33:28 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=20161025; h=sender:subject:to:cc:references:from:message-id:date:user-agent :mime-version:in-reply-to:content-language:content-transfer-encoding; bh=nVHysmxuQi7fhyJJZhVX9VWfDgQM7hpMNNPzolTpjlI=; b=ens7SXkrXQYdAbWoDScIpUPtcIaskrRMbkanWUd0AnQXpbt/SaY0hN1eAO/OOXc4eK MIx/L4qQDL0jCI0z/h6vAkvi/5ICYWgpuNWN3guf+Bq1020Ys9OZm2OtesNJN47vVB8R /7/T2SNDabnvkBUgStwU+S2HemzBDlWbHk+BwAn4iL6NNhFkCqgPD3xehSW08+aj0ggT L3ZE3c5eXoEEvKztDx4eI9Q3yqYDg2HEdxu1DeJIeKTcCfMHo2lOO4pGDb2y4GipqrZ7 XPoSXkcVXrpFFp4JYzOwwthYwrsIBkvw2U/06315UJ23e4Atalp7XnBC0t7W/PT+0Ncj 7IiA== X-Google-DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=1e100.net; s=20161025; h=x-gm-message-state:sender:subject:to:cc:references:from:message-id :date:user-agent:mime-version:in-reply-to:content-language :content-transfer-encoding; bh=nVHysmxuQi7fhyJJZhVX9VWfDgQM7hpMNNPzolTpjlI=; b=NDBBD+lwFtzREm7cedpTYnCy7SaLT1M0W4rjcyGe/QOzIUAmgW2MnQvy5ZsM2Xjt1w PIwbX9rhaTcFZCtO3LOHNSEZidTJgKKp8Ingt7cun7xtYTgKPKQKiRbw3txwK1AFA64f CV6jgRzv4Tjlhb8PtWGJ1kvv+EbcJ3VwvHd7hNOfDKY2K30CCbFbR+i1hDjSCD6/TC3/ OlJ8FxI4y3J7pk7Fkx756iX5oT5wQDfD+JJMJAo4vCyFQPEUIhCshuOjxvZZmFe25mIv HhIax0qhS7Aer20UnObeHvpudjEi8cX6Mq8T2k0GHk/grCQ2H8Nca/JtDFN7IwBZgu8c +oNw== X-Gm-Message-State: AOAM533T3czlUUurXm2/Rlqs182U0W9vgpbPR9+vSalYeR0l3Lsb9RZ3 bfM8y3TC2vXbvNUFseBBVB1Kk19dFL6hHw== X-Google-Smtp-Source: ABdhPJxfzWd6wC6jhHG4wpZb3MpEDxD+/CIDeHTCCDiI573EbuR40KE2QS2f9rH2jUHkkMDq+9nTmA== X-Received: by 2002:adf:cc88:: with SMTP id p8mr13663281wrj.201.1603632802774; Sun, 25 Oct 2020 06:33:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost.localdomain (86-42-14-227-dynamic.agg2.lod.rsl-rtd.eircom.net.
