I'm gradually getting there, partly thanks to your question about grepping "tracked" in another thread. This patch does not really generate random strings. It repeats the pattern "* gettext poison *" for evey character that can be replaced. But a better way could be replacing "tracked" with "t r a c k e d". We know the rule so we can recreate the that string from "tracked" in test_i18n*. Or reverse the upper/lower case, whichever is easier for the recreation by test_i18n* >> mode change 100644 => 100755 t/test-lib.sh >> create mode 100644 test-poisongen.c >> mode change 100644 => 100755 wrap-for-bin.sh > > Thanks. I suspect two mode changes weren't intentional? It's an emacs hook gone bad. -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
