All, Following consultation with the coreutils maintainers and mailing list members, I have just edited the GNU aliases file to point these mailng lists at [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [email protected]:-
bug-fileutils bug-sh-utils bug-textutils You can revert this change to the aliases file by applying the attached patch in reverse. I also append the current version of the automatic response that people will now get when they post to one of the above three mailing lists. Thanks, James. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: May 12, 2007 9:20 AM Subject: Auto-response for your message to the "Bug-obsolete-packages" mailing list To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for your mail about GNU software. Unfortunately, you have sent email to an out-of-date mailing list name. The mailing list has been renamed because the package itself has been renamed. The fact that you are using an out-of-date list (and package) name implies that the software you have been using is now very out of date. If you are writing to report a bug, please take the time to download the updated version of the software. It is likely that your problem has already been fixed in the updated version of the software. If your original email was to one of these lists ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... then you should download a copy of GNU coreutils, which replaced the three packages textutils, sh-utils and fileutils on 2002-09-01. GNU coreutils is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/coreutils. GNU coreutils is under active maintenance and enhancement, while the software version you appear to be using is at least 6 years old. Within the coreutils source distribution is a file called README-package-renamed-to-coreutils. That file contains pointers to the replacement mailing list. It also contains pointers to list archives; you may even find an answer to your question or a solution to your problem by searching it. If the problem you are having is not fixed by upgrading the software, you may in fact find that the GNU coreutils Frequently Asked Questions list (http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html) contains the information you need. Thanks, The GNU coreutils community
