as a heads up, the next version of coreutils i add to portage (5.93) drops support for all those options upstream had labeled before as simply "deprecated" ... this isnt a patch i'm adding or not adding, upstream finally cut out all the code with these latest releases
for those who dont know what i'm talking about, consider: tail -1 head -1 <some other stuff i cant remember> these things wont work anymore ... you had your warn time, now get over it note: for those who think they can argue for support of these features to be kept in Gentoo, you're barking up the wrong tree so dont waste your time -mike -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
