Package: timeout
coreutils now includes a "timeout" program which I'd like to include as
it will become de-facto standard as various distributions update their
coreutils packages. Doing so will make the "timeout" package essentially
uninstallable. The syntax is slightly different:
timeout [OPTION] NUMBER[smhd] COMMAND [ARG]...
NUMBER is an integer followed by an optional unit; the default is
seconds. The units are:
`s' seconds
`m' minutes
`h' hours
`d' days
The program accepts the following option. Also see *note Common
options::. Options must precede operands.
`-s SIGNAL'
`--signal=SIGNAL'
Send this SIGNAL to COMMAND on timeout, rather than the default
`TERM' signal. SIGNAL may be a name like `HUP' or a number. Also
see *Note Signal specifications::.
Exit status:
124 if COMMAND times out
125 if `timeout' itself fails
126 if COMMAND is found but cannot be invoked
127 if COMMAND cannot be found
the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
What kinds of problems will this cause for the tct package? I'd like to
do this soon, if possible, so that any problems can be shaken out fairly
early in the squeeze release cycle.

Version: 1.19-1
Some (long) time ago you filed this bug against the timeout package.
In the meantime the package has been removed and a timeout command is
included in the coreutils package.
If the issue you encountered is also applicable to timeout from
coreutils (as released with Debian 7.0 wheezy or later) the maintainers
would very much appreciate a fresh report using
reportbug /usr/bin/timeout
(you should also mention the number of this bug if you think it contains
valuable information).
Please note that further information sent to this bug is likely to
remain unread, because the bug is currently not assigned to any existing
package.
Thank you for taking time to report bugs found in Debian packages.
Kind regards,
Andrei (with no relation to timeout, tct or coreutils maintenance)
