As you are perfectly entitled to do; however... > This posting includes a commit message and a patch at the end. I cannot accept this patch. I had a similar discussion a year or two ago, with Colin Watson of Debian/Ubuntu. Your patch would make pdfroff completely dependent on the availability of a working mktemp. I cannot assume that such a dependency will always be satisfied; indeed, until very recently, no such utility was available on the MS-Windows/MSYS platform which, for me, is where I have most need of pdfroff. Some form of fall back is necessary, in the event that the host does not provide a working mktemp; I will not accept any patch which fails to recognise this. -- Regards, Keith. _______________________________________________ bug-groff mailing list bug-groff@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-groff
