1 restore djgpp, eventually
3 add unit tests for lib/*.c
4 rewrite lib/ftw.c not to use explicit recursion, and then use nftw in
5 chown, chgrp, chmod, du
7 strip: add an option to specify the program used to strip binaries.
8 suggestion from Karl Berry
11 Address this comment: FIXME: mv's behavior in this case is system-dependent
12 Better still: fix the code so it's *not* system-dependent.
14 implement --target-directory=DIR for install (per texinfo documentation)
16 ls: add --format=FORMAT option that controls how each line is printed.
18 cp --no-preserve=X should not attempt to preserve attribute X
19 reported by Andreas Schwab
21 copy.c: Address the FIXME-maybe comment in copy_internal.
22 And once that's done, add an exclusion so that `cp --link'
23 no longer incurs the overhead of saving src. dev/ino and dest. filename
26 Apply suggestion from Paul Jarc to use something along the
27 lines of http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/setuidgid.html to avoid
28 kludges (as in tests/rm/fail-2eperm) when running tests as root.
30 See if we can be consistent about where --verbose sends its output:
31 These all send --verbose output to stdout:
32 head, tail, rm, cp, mv, ln, chmod, chown, chgrp, install, ln
33 These send it to stderr:
37 Write an autoconf test to work around build failure in HPUX's 64-bit mode.
38 See notes in README -- and remove them once there's a work-around.
40 after 5.0, change doc strings (like df, ls, etc) not to use `,'
41 as thousands separator in e.g. 1,000,000. Instead, do this:
43 SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following:
44 kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024 and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
46 Integrate use of sendfile, suggested here:

49 Should printf '\0123' print "\n3"?
50 per report from TAKAI Kousuke on Mar 27
51 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-03/index.html
53 printf: consider adapting builtins/printf.def from bash
55 df: add `--total' option, suggested here http://bugs.debian.org/186007
57 Martin Michlmayr's patch to provide ls with `--sort directory' option
59 seq: give better diagnostics for invalid formats:
60 e.g. no or too many % directives
61 seq: consider allowing format string to contain no %-directives
63 dd: consider adding an option to suppress `bytes/block read/written'
64 output to stderr. Suggested here:
