Still, it would be nice to make less work for packagers, and for users installing from source. > What's wrong with coreutils' kill? Just a missing feature. With util-linux's kill, you can say "kill progname"; it will look for processes called progname running as the same user who invoked kill. Not such a big deal, but it's handy. > I'm open to the idea of not installing hostname. The GNU(/Hurd) system will need a hostname program, so throwing away this one may not be a great idea. Adding the -s and --fqdn options to GNU hostname might make the most sense. C.f. the GNU sysutils project, intended to replace util-linux. paul _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
