Hello,
below is a little patch for /usr/src/fileutils-4.0/src/ls.c
which solves the problem that if with "ls -l" the file size
is more than 8 digits, the column alignment is broken.
The patch provides more character positions
for the file size if the group name (often "users" or "root")
is less than 8 chars long, thus instead of:
-rw-r--r-- 1 oskar users 39402356 Apr 20 16:53 from_kfir.PS.iso13818.TS
-rw-r--r-- 1 oskar users 203529648 Apr 20 17:13 from_kfir.PS.iso13818.TS.lis
you get now:
-rw-r--r-- 1 oskar users 39402356 Apr 20 16:53 from_kfir.PS.iso13818.TS
-rw-r--r-- 1 oskar users 203529648 Apr 20 17:13 from_kfir.PS.iso13818.TS.lis
thanks for Your patience, have fun,
Oskar
