We have many other examples when the CLI is compiled with readline and it doesn't interfere (there was a problem in libedit in the past when using CLI in non-interactive way, but it's gone...). > Another possible reason is that some third-party scripts (like looking > glass or scripting language bindings) use birdcl by default, so they > would have to be modified to use birdc in case that birdcl is not > available. This could be solved by a symlink reducing the binary with duplicate functionality.

I think it makes sense. Generally birdc is more suited to interactive usage, while birdcl is more suited to non-interactive usage (although both could be used in the other way). If you use birdc non-interactively using pipes, it cannot be ruled out that readline would somehow interfere undesirably with it in some unexpected way. Another possible reason is that some third-party scripts (like looking glass or scripting language bindings) use birdcl by default, so they would have to be modified to use birdc in case that birdcl is not available. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so." signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi Micah, why would we need to ship birdcl together with birdc in one package? That makes no sense since birdcl is just no-readline version of birdc.

Package: bird Version: 1.4.4-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hello, It seems that you are not shipping the birdcl binary in the package. The attached patch would add that to the package.
