-Note to Gnome hackers:
-
-If you change anything related to popt, please forward these changes to
-ewt@redhat.com, the popt package maintainer.

-Some files in this directory are taken verbatim from glibc.
-Do not modify them. If you find a bug, report it as you would any
-glibc bug.
-
-When updating the glibc files in the master Gnome repository, be sure
-to use "cvs import". That will ensure that any local changes are
-merged in.
-
-Yes, there are some minor local changes. Hopefully these will be
-sorted out with the glibc maintainer before long.

-Notes on CVS import:
-
-This directory has files from two "vendors". There are, thus, two
-vendor branches
-
- 1.1.1 GNU
- 1.1.2 SNPRINTF_de_Raadt
-
-The files that have "vendor" versions are:
-
- argp-ba.c GNU
- argp-eexst.c GNU
- argp-fmtstream.c GNU
- argp-fmtstream.h GNU
- argp-fs-xinl.c GNU
- argp-help.c GNU
- argp-namefrob.h GNU
- argp-parse.c GNU
- argp-pv.c GNU
- argp-pvh.c GNU
- argp-test.c GNU
- argp-xinl.c GNU
- argp.h GNU
- getopt.c GNU
- getopt.h GNU
- getopt1.c GNU
- strcasecmp.c GNU
- strndup.c GNU
- strnlen.c GNU
- strtok_r.c GNU
- vasprintf.c GNU
- vsnprintf.c SNPRINTF_de_Raadt
-
-To find out the list of changes made against a "vendor" revision, you
-can say
-
- cvs diff -r <vendor-branch-tag>
-
-When any of these files are changed by the vendor, they can be
-reimported. At the time of importing, please make sure you use the
-correct branch revision and vendor tag.
-
-So, if you are importing changes to any of the `GNU' files, please use
-
- cvs import -b 1.1.1 gnome-common/support GNU <new-release-tag>
-
-If you are importing changes to "SNPRINTF_de_Raadt" files, please use
-
- cvs import -b 1.1.2 gnome-common/support SNPRINTF_de_Raadt <new-rel-tag>
- ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Branch revision Vendor Tag
-
-In other words the "Branch revision" and "Vendor Tag" must agree.

-Good places to get "support" functions:
-
-`libgnomesupport' is essentially a `glibc' emulation library, and hence
-`glibc' itself is a good source. However, some of the functions cannot
-be easily ripped out and put here (esp. any of the stdio-derived
-functions). Other places are:
-
-* libiberty from your friendly Cygnus source distribution, e.g.,
- binutils, gdb. The only caveat is that these cannot be used drop-in:
- you have to remove references to other files in the Cygnus tree &c.
-
-* libit, which appeared briefly on ftp://alpha.gnu.org
-
-* Jim Meyering's collection from his `fileutils'/`sh-utils'/`textutils'
- packages
