From d5a5d8309433e8393bce62c3c5e100919cb505eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 16:23:41 +0200 Subject: touch: remove support for --file=REF_FILE option * src/touch.c (main): Remove support for the deprecated, long-named --file option, which is an alternate name for --reference (-r). That option was undocumented with the arrival of --reference, in the 1995-10-29 commit, 8b92864e1d. Since the 2009-02-09 commit, ed85df444a, use of --file has elicited a warning. Not only was this code due for removal, but the long-name-use-detecting code was buggy in that it would use a stale or uninitialized "long_idx", as reported by Robin H. Johnson in http://bugs.gentoo.org/322421. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it. --- THANKS | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'THANKS') diff --git a/THANKS b/THANKS index ecad934ba..0e1459bda 100644 --- a/THANKS +++ b/THANKS @@ -525,6 +525,7 @@ Robert H. de Vries robert@and.nl Robert Lindgren robert@orcafat.com Robert Millan zeratul2@wanadoo.es Robert Schwebel r.schwebel@pengutronix.de +Robin H.
