Thanks for catching that, sorry. The middle button of my mouse acts up
since a few days and produces additional clicks sometimesâ

I've no problem doing that once everything else is finalized.

That has been in there since the 4.0 release. I cannot find out what
problem it was supposed to solve (it was introduced at the end of 2010).
I can remove it if setup.exe already does that.

Almost exactly two years. Again I can't really follow what the original

then that script certainly can be removed.

I still need to wait for Chuck to create an inetutils package without
/etc/defaults/etc/shells. Then we'll probably need someone with
sourceware access to create the four !ready files so that the upload
gets done in synchrony.
