I'm looking to package moreutils, a collection of small Linux utilities. It is already included in Debian and Ubuntu (amongst others), and is released under GPLv2.
Homepage: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/ Debian package: https://packages.debian.org/sid/utils/moreutils Ubuntu package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/moreutils Proposed Cygwin packaging: https://tastycake.net/~adam/cygwin/ Quoting from the moreutils homepage: > Probably the most general purpose tool in moreutils so far is > sponge(1), which lets you do things like this: > > % sed "s/root/toor/" /etc/passwd | grep -v joey | sponge /etc/passwd > > There are lots more listed below, and I'm always interested to add > more to the collection, as long as they're suitably general-purpose, > and don't duplicate other well-known tools. > > - chronic: runs a command quietly unless it fails > - combine: combine the lines in two files using boolean operations > - errno: look up errno names and descriptions > - ifdata: get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output > - ifne: run a program if the standard input is not empty > - isutf8: check if a file or standard input is utf-8 > - lckdo: execute a program with a lock held > - mispipe: pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first > - parallel: run multiple jobs at once > - pee: tee standard input to pipes > - sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file > - ts: timestamp standard input > - vidir: edit a directory in your text editor > - vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe > - zrun: automatically uncompress arguments to command
