Hello! My name is Janet Casey and I'm working for the Free Software Foundation assembling a database of free software world wide, which is why I'm writing to this address. Normally I would not write to a bugs address about a non-bug problem, but I got a bounceback from the address i have listed for the maintainer(Jim Meyering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) so I'm trying this address. Can you take a quick look through the information I've assembled to see if everything is correct and if there's anything I should add? I'd appreciate it greatly. FYI- a short explanation of some of the fields. Programs- any additional programs that come included with this one. Interface- Command line, interactive, X windows, console Support- listed only if it's something other than mailing list support Repository- Any CVS repositories where the program is listed Related- any GNU packages that might be of interest to users of this package Use Requirements- Required for using the executable Build Prereq.- Required for building this package Weak Prereq.- Useful (but not mandatory) to install before building this one Source Prereq.- Packages whose source code must be present in order to build this package. If there's anything you think should be added (particularly individuals who have contributed) please e-mail me. Thank you very much for your help! %%name: fileutils %%short-description: Tools for file operations %%full-description: Tools included perform the following file operations: <pre> chgrp -- changes group ownership chown -- changes ownership chmod -- changes permissions cp -- copies dd -- copies and converts df -- shows filesystem disk usage. dir -- gives brief directory listing dircolors -- setup program for the color version of GNU ls du -- shows disk usage install -- copies and sets permissions ln -- creates links ls -- lists directory contents mkdir -- creates directories mkfifo -- creates FIFOs (named pipes) mknod -- creates special files mv -- renames rm -- removes (deletes) rmdir -- removes empty directories sync -- synchronizes memory and disk touch -- changes filestamps vdir -- long directory listing (like ls -l) </pre> %%category: administration, development %%license: GPL %%maintainer: Jim Meyering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> %%interface: Command line, interactive %%updated: 27 Mar 2000 %%keywords: File management, administration, word-processing %%programs: chgrp, chown, chmod, cpdd, df, dir, dircolors, du, install, ln, ls, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mv, rm, rmdir, sync, touch, vdir %%GNU: yes %%web-page: http://www.gnu.org/software/fileutils/fileutils.html %%support: %%doc: User reference manual from www.gnu.org/manual/fileutils/index.html %%developers: Jim Meyering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> %%contributors: Andreas Schwab %%sponsors: %%source: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish %%debian: http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/base/fileutils.html %%redhat: %%repository: %%related: %%source-language: %%supported-languages: %%use-requirements: %%build-prerequisites: %%weak-prerequisites: %%source-prerequisites: %%version: 4.0 released 15 Nov. 1998; 4.0k beta 07 Dec 1999 %%announce-list: %%announce-news: %%help-list: %%help-news: %%dev-list: %%dev-news: %%bug-list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janet Casey Free Software Foundation www.gnu.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]
