coreutils (8.23-1) unstable; urgency=low
|
|
|
|
GNU coreutils package now includes the `realpath' command that used to
|
|
be found in a separate `realpath' package.
|
|
|
|
Even though the GNU version provides all the features of the old Debian
|
|
version, the behaviour is a bit different, namely:
|
|
|
|
* GNU `realpath' and `realpath -s' commands require all but the
|
|
last path components to exist
|
|
|
|
whereas:
|
|
|
|
* Debian version of `realpath' required all the path components to exist;
|
|
* Debian version of `realpath -s' required no path components to exist.
|
|
|
|
To get the old behaviour in GNU `realpath' an additional option needs
|
|
to be used:
|
|
|
|
Old Debian realpath New GNU coreutils realpath
|
|
----------------------- ----------------------------
|
|
realpath file(s) => realpath -e file(s)
|
|
realpath -s file(s) => realpath -s -m file(s)

coreutils (5.96-3) unstable; urgency=low
|
|
|
|
* The POSIX compatibility level is now set to POSIX 1003.1-2001,
|
|
which affects the syntax for several commands. For transition
|
|
purposes, "sort +number" and "tail +number" will be supported
|
|
for the etch release. Note that these usages are deprecated, and
|
|
will be removed in etch+1; the recommended usage is "sort -k number"
|
|
and "tail -n +number". Also, "uniq +number" should be replaced with
|
|
"uniq -s number" and "touch number filename" should be replaced with
|
|
"touch -t number filename". To revert to the older syntax, set the
|
|
environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION to "199209".
