[bug #20865] -delete interacts with -prune
Follow-up Comment #5, bug #20865 (project findutils): Following some discussion on the mailing list, I'm inclined to think that Bruno's point is rational. POSIX doesn't define -delete, so in theory we could change it.However, other implementations (notably *BSD) have -delete imply -depth. I am inclined to avoid a gratuitous incompatibility. Options: 0. Make the documentation more explicit 1. Issue a warning message if -delete is specified without -depth 2. Add a -nodepth option (but this is a poor name I suppose) 3. Add a new action (say, -remove) which does not imply -depth Looks like (0) is obvious, so I'll go ahead regardless with that. Doing (1) seems reasonable, but there was widespread complaining about the addition of the options should appear before actions warning message... Option (2) is a more general solution but I haven't considered it much yet. Option (3) is superficially attractive but it's arbitrary, solves just this specific problem, and it will be hard for everybody to remember which action implies -depth and which does not. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20865 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/

[bug #20970] Trailing slash on directory arguments breaks -name
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #20970 (project findutils): Partly because we currently seem to be following common practice, I would be inclined to ask for a POSIX interp (i.e. for the current issues standard), or at least comment from the Austin Group, before changing our current behaviour. The issue with -wholename you mention at the foot of your 09/04/2007 comment probably also merits discussion with the Austin Group, since -path is being standardised. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20970 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
[bug #20909] [wishlist] Alphabetic sort for find
Update of bug #20909 (project findutils): Severity: 3 - Normal = 1 - Wish ___ Follow-up Comment #1: You should indeed be able to pipe the file name list to sort. You don't provide enough specific information for me to guess at what you mean by alphabetize regardless of originating directory. However, were I forced to guess, I would suggest that you simply have locale settings in operation which define a collation order which doesn't meet your requirements. If that is the case, you just need to change your locale setting to something that suits your needs better. You might find the Texinfo documentation for sort helpful for this (see the first footnote). ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20909 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
