Package: coreutils Version: 8.28-1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/yes Tags: upstream
Long shot, but it never hurts to try: I've found myself wanting /usr/bin/yes to accept -d <int>, e.g. yes -d5 . which would output '.' every 5 seconds. Obviously, I can just use a shell loop and sleep(1) instead, but that same argument applies to yes(1) as a whole. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful little utility that I think could benefit from this backwards-compatible enhancement. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_NZ:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-3+b1 ii libattr1 1:2.4.47-2+b2 ii libc6 2.24-17 ii libselinux1 2.7-2 coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
