Is anyone aware of any outstanding problems with the stricter find argument ordering required by findutils 4.2.20? xorg is no longer holding up 4.2.20 going stable -- are there any others?
For those not aware of the problem, find must only be used in the
following form:
find paths program-options search-options actions
Older findutils versions would silently accept most orderings. Newer
versions will either barf or make lots of noise.
(Sidenote: the paths part is mandatory. Current findutils will default
to the current directory if no path is provided, but other
implementations and future findutils versions may exit with an error.)
