[tex-live] TL 2010 pretest: xindy rules do strange things

[Simon Spiegel]

[Sorry, for the cross-posting, but I wasn't sure which mailing list was more appropriate]

Hi, 

after downloading the latest MacTeX 2010 pretest, I noticed that xindy does some strange things. Sorting rules which have worked for me for years suddenly seem to have no effect.

For example, something like this which I use to sort book and film titles:

(merge-rule "The (.*)" "\1~,The" :again :bregexp)

This now has no visible effect on a entry of this kind:

\indexentry{\emph{The Black Cat}}{85}

This used to work and AFAICS the problem is with xindy.

Simon
