Thanks for noticing that! It'd be nice to know if/how applications use `stat --terse'. Otherwise, if I change the output format (in what seems guaranteed to be an incompatible way for some applications), it'll cause trouble. On the other hand, I think this needs to be done, so better sooner than later. However, I'm going to hold off for a little while. 5.1.3 should have only minimal changes over 5.1.2, and then, barring the need for significant changes, I plan to make a stable 5.2.0 release. So this sort of incompatible change will have to wait in the queue for a little while. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
