<id>urn:sha1:0f2cf20af6d91075c1f876b8a8c4375c52ff672a</id>
<content type='text'>
Avoid "Unicode character U+#1 not supported, sorry" error
when converting from texi to dvi or pdf.

* doc/coreutils.texi (tr invocation): Avoid the @U{XXXX}
texi representation, as even though info and html can represent
these characters directly, there are conversion errors
for pdf and dvi.  Instead use the more abstract shell
$'\uXXXX' representation.

<content type='text'>
* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): For the --compare option,
clarify that the ownership or permissions of the source files don't
matter.  Also don't imply --owner or --group need to be specified
for --compare to be effective.
* src/install.c (usage): Add more detail on what's being compared.
