44KB's not that much. :-)
I've attached a copy of the translation-filtered diff between 5.0.23 and
5.1.0 for the record, which I'd be happy to have uploaded to stable as
5.1.0~deb7u1 with a suitable changelog stanza. One query:
while ((ch = GETOPT_LONGISH(argc, argv,
- "abBcdFg:Gh:Hi:KlLmMp:q:rRs:St:T:v:V:x", longopts, 0)) > 0) {
+ "abBcdFg:Gh:Hi:KlLmMp:q:rRs:t:T:v:V:x", longopts, 0)) > 0) {
[...]
/* flags for RIPE-like servers */
-const char *ripeflags="abBcdFGKlLmMrRSx";
+const char *ripeflags="abBcdFGKlLmMrRx";
This change isn't explicitly documented afaics. Have servers stopped
supporting the "S" flag, or was it not actually supported to begin with?
