@@ -2,6 +2,18 @@ * Version 4.5.5. + * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fall back on using lstat when required: + when --dereference (-L) is not specified, and + - when operating on a dangling symlink + - when operating on command-line-symlink-to-directories + This fixes numerous problems. Here are examples: + - `ls dangling-symlink' would fail with `no such file...' + Now it prints `dangling-symlink'. + - `ls -i symlink' would mistakenly print the inode of the referent. + Now it prints the inode of the symlink. Likewise for --size (-s). + Based on a patch from Michael Stone. + Reported by Deepak Goel as Debian bug #173793. + Rename ls's --dereference-command-line (-H) option to --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir. * src/ls.c [enum Dereference_symlink] |
