restore djgpp, eventually
merge TODO lists
add unit tests for lib/*.c
rewrite lib/ftw.c not to use explicit recursion, and then use nftw in
chown, chgrp, chmod, du
strip: add an option to specify the program used to strip binaries.
suggestion from Karl Berry
doc/coreutils.texi:
Address this comment: FIXME: mv's behavior in this case is system-dependent
Better still: fix the code so it's *not* system-dependent.
implement --target-directory=DIR for install (per texinfo documentation)
ls: add --format=FORMAT option that controls how each line is printed.
cp --no-preserve=X should not attempt to preserve attribute X
reported by Andreas Schwab
copy.c: Address the FIXME-maybe comment in copy_internal.
And once that's done, add an exclusion so that `cp --link'
no longer incurs the overhead of saving src. dev/ino and dest. filename
in the hash table.
Apply suggestion from Paul Jarc to use something along the
lines of http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/setuidgid.html to avoid
kludges (as in tests/rm/fail-2eperm) when running tests as root.
See if we can be consistent about where --verbose sends its output:
These all send --verbose output to stdout:
head, tail, rm, cp, mv, ln, chmod, chown, chgrp, install, ln
These send it to stderr:
shred mkdir split
readlink is different
Write an autoconf test to work around build failure in HPUX's 64-bit mode.
See notes in README -- and remove them once there's a work-around.
Integrate use of sendfile, suggested here:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-fileutils/2003-03/msg00030.html
I don't plan to do that, since a few tests demonstrate no significant benefit.
Should printf '\0123' print "\n3"?
per report from TAKAI Kousuke on Mar 27
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-03/index.html
printf: consider adapting builtins/printf.def from bash
df: add `--total' option, suggested here http://bugs.debian.org/186007
seq: give better diagnostics for invalid formats:
e.g. no or too many % directives
seq: consider allowing format string to contain no %-directives
dd: consider adding an option to suppress `bytes/block read/written'
output to stderr. Suggested here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=165045
m4: rename all macros that start with AC_ to start with another prefix
resolve RH report on cp -a forwarded by Tim Waugh
Martin Michlmayr's patch to provide ls with `--sort directory' option
Remove uses of PROTOTYPES
tail: don't use xlseek; it *exits*.
Instead, maybe use a macro and return nonzero.
