I am not surprised it didn't conform to a standard which didn't exist when it was released. :-) Bob ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils

Feature request: rm option that supports trash (plain text)

Simply create an alias that moves the file instead of removing it. alias rm=mv --target-directory=$HOME/.Trash/ But please don't make this a system default since this behavior is not appreciated by many.

Re: sort --compare-version
On Feb 5, 2008 1:09 AM, Bob Proulx [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That would mean to me that version comparison would need to be of the form --something-sort and would need to be in the Ordering options: section and not the Other options: section. I suppose that this option should be called --version-sort instead in order to be consistent with the already existing options. But! Using --version-sort conflicts with --version. Which means my purpose here is simply to call this up for discussion such that some reasonable choice can be made since this will need to be an exception to the rule. Comments? How about something synonymous, but differently spelled? For example --releasenumber-sort?

This woud save much heartache by giving a 'safer' option for newbies. It's not safer for them when they find themselves using some system which lacks the feature or has it turned off, but expect the feature to still be available... There is a pointer to some more information (including a HOWTO) in the coreutils FAQ at http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#I-used-rm-to-remove-a-file_002e-How-can-I-get-it-back-now_003f James. ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
