I don't think it will break scripts because legacy operating systems don't support those options either. If you consider GNU a legacy operating system, sure. Recall, GNU coreutils is for GNU, not non-GNU systems. How about those options get disabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT is defined instead? That makes sense, and doesn't break scripts. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
