[Orgmode] Karl Berry: Re: Nick Dokos: texi2dvi egrep regexp

[Nick Dokos]

FYI: Karl Berry's reply - afaict, it does not solve everything ( the
regexp might mean different things in different locales), but is it
good enough for its limited purpose (detecting drive letters)?

         texi2dvi: locale-dependent error in egrep [A-z]

    (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2010-03/msg00031.html
    and following).

    Has anything come of that? 

Yes, I already changed it at that time to [A-Za-z].

However, of course that was in the development sources, so people using
the latest (= old) release aren't going to be helped.

texi2dvi is a standalone script so people with problems could
conceivably download it and use it themselves.  Not that I'd especially
recommend that as a widespread practice, of course.

I don't know when the next full release will be.
