The patches all LGTM! I think you can push them to ‘core-updates’ if
there are no objections.
Then Maxim, Ricardo, or myself (I think we’re the three people who can
do that currently) can upload bootar to ftp.gnu.org. Let us know.
It’s quite something to see these intermediate versions of Bash, Gawk,
tar, grep, coreutils, and sed go away in the last patch, and that tells
something about the magnitude of the work that has gone in this
Gash-Utils release. Thumbs up, and big thanks!
