Debian Changelog moreutils (0.41)

2010

moreutils (0.41) unstable; urgency=low

   * ifdata.docbook: Mark interface as required in synopsis. Closes: #588397
   * Add missing AUTHOR section to docbook man pages.
   * sponge: Correct bad use of fread that caused a trailing quantity of
     soaked data to be silently discarded when a temp file was used
     and sponge output to stdout. Closes: #595220

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:47:10 -0400

moreutils (0.40) unstable; urgency=low

   * lckdo: Now deprecated, since util-linux's flock(1) can do the same
     thing.
   * parallel: -i will now replace {} inside parameters, before the {} had
     to be a separate parameter.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 06 Jul 2010 19:38:14 -0400

moreutils (0.39) unstable; urgency=low

   * parallel: Fix exit code handling when commands are specified after --
   * parallel: Make -j 0 do something reasonable (start all jobs at once).
   * parallel: Fix to really avoid running new jobs when load is too high.
   * parallel: Fix logic error in code handling -l that could make parallel
     return a bogus 255 exit code when all jobs succeeded. Closes: #569617
   * parallel: Allow a decimal load value to be specified with -l
   * Caps sillyness. Closes: #570815

     interface options are not currently supported in FreeBSD.
   * parallel: Define WEXITED to allow building on FreeBSD kernel.
   * Thanks Enrico Tassi for the FreeBSD kernel support, which should
     be enough to get moreutils built on Debian kFreeBSD. Closes: #562609

moreutils (0.28) unstable; urgency=low

   * Moved to a git repository.
   * vidir: Applied patch from Stefan Fritsch (one part of #412176):
     - Check for control characters (especially newlines) in filenames
       and error out, since this can greatly confuse the editor or vidir.
     - If the source of a rename does not exist (and thus the rename will fail
       anyway), vidir should not move an existing target file to a tmpfile.
     - If a directory is renamed, vidir should take that into account when
       renaming files in this directory.
     - If a directory name is passed as name/ to vidir, vidir should not
       add second slash after the name.
   * vidir: Add support for unlinking directories. To recursivly delete
     a directory and its contents, pipe find to vidir, and delete the directory
     and its contents in the editor. Closes: #412176
   * Add example to man page about recursive modification of directories.
     Closes: #390099

moreutils (0.16) unstable; urgency=low

   * Change the default ts format to include the month and day, for consistency
     with syslog format.
   * Add -r switch to ts, which makes it convert existing timestamps in
     the input into relative times, such as "15m2s ago". Many common date
     formats are supported.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 19 Aug 2006 15:27:42 -0400

moreutils (0.15) unstable; urgency=low

   * Remove notes about potential tools from README, moved to wiki.
   * vidir: Don't abort if it sees an empty or all-whitespace line.
   * vidir: If just a filename is removed and the number is left,
     treat this the same as removing the whole line, and delete the file,
     instead of trying to rename the file to "".
   * vidir: Remove the periods after the item numbers.
   * vidir: Man page improvements. Closes: #378122
   * combine: Man page improvements, to clarify even more that order does
     matter and that the operations are not commutative. Closes: #361123
   * combine: The behavior of "or" was fairly strange if lines were repeated in
     a file. Changed behavior to just print all lines from both files, even
     if this means printing dups. Not sure I like this behavior either, but
     it's consistent with the very useful behaviors of "and" and "not".
   * vidir, vipe: Use /usr/bin/editor if it's present, and EDITOR and VISUAL
     arn't set, to comply with Debian policy. For portability, fall back to vi
     if there's no /usr/bin/editor. Closes: #378623
