What about the second part of the suggestion. The crypt.3 manpage
currently suggests including <unistd.h>, with _XOPEN_SOURCE defined,
and that does not work with current glibc.
Current Fedora glibc. We need to align the Fedora behavior with upstream
again, either by lobbying for an upstream change, or changing Fedora back to
how things were before.
Zack mentions reasons that crypt.h is already in use, and glibc itself
is already documenting the use of crypt.h instead of unistd.h [0].
uclibc also provides crypt.h [1]. Wouldn't that be a sufficient reason
to make the manpage document crypt.h as primary?
If it's just about changing the recommendation, then I'm fine with that.
But we don't know yet how things will turn out upstream, so spelling
out *why* <crypt.h> is preferable would still be tricky.
Thanks,
Florian
