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 Integrate use of sendfile, suggested here:
41 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-fileutils/2003-03/msg00030.html
42 I don't plan to do that, since a few tests demonstrate no significant benefit.
44 Should printf '\0123' print "\n3"?
45 per report from TAKAI Kousuke on Mar 27

48 printf: consider adapting builtins/printf.def from bash
50 df: add `--total' option, suggested here http://bugs.debian.org/186007
52 seq: give better diagnostics for invalid formats:
53 e.g. no or too many % directives
54 seq: consider allowing format string to contain no %-directives
56 dd: consider adding an option to suppress `bytes/block read/written'
57 output to stderr. Suggested here:
58 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=165045
60 m4: rename all macros that start with AC_ to start with another prefix
62 resolve RH report on cp -a forwarded by Tim Waugh
64 Martin Michlmayr's patch to provide ls with `--sort directory' option
66 Remove uses of PROTOTYPES
68 tail: don't use xlseek; it *exits*.
69 Instead, maybe use a macro and return nonzero.
71 add mktemp? Suggested by Nelson Beebe
73 Now that AC_FUNC_LSTAT and AC_FUNC_STAT are in autoconf,
74 remove m4/stat.m4 and m4/lstat.m4.
