Package: moreutils Version: 0.22 Severity: wishlist Hi, Joey:
I currently have a single binary package called 'lckdo' -- I didn't
realize the upstream author (mjt) was a Debian developer when I packaged
it, however.
What do you think about including it in moreutils?
Here's the current package description:
Description: execute a program with a lock set
lckdo is a utility for controlling the invocation of another program
based on a lock file. It supports both shared (read) and exclusive
(write) locks and can wait for a configurable amount of time for the
lock to become free. lckdo is commonly used to make automated rsync
mirroring more robust.
I've found it very handy for doing simple locking in shell scripts.
