Strip extent information when passing text to external programs, select.el lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2011-09-21 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * select.el (select-convert-to-text): * select.el (select-convert-to-utf-8-text): Ignore extent information in these functions, other programs can't do anything useful with it, and it actively interferes when copying from an ERC buffer to external programs-- #'encode-coding-string complains that the string is read-only, which is arguably in itself a separate problem, since it allocates a new string there's no reason for it ever to throw that error.

Here we have notes about the conversion to GPLv3. Things left to do,
things to check, etc...

* File with copyright notices that ought to be checked

"etc/gnuserv.1" and "etc/gnuserv.README". Copyright added with date
1998. If more accurate dates for the respective contributions can be
deduced it would be good.
