Sure, I understand the frustration. But --non-interactive was already a good idea - what if you're using https and the server suddenly starts requiring a client certificate or something? You'd have run into the same problem without any client change. I will forward the request upstream, I just can't predict whether it'll get traction. Probably not in 1.5.x, but possibly in 1.6, and if upstream goes with it, I'll probably backport to 1.5. > This one in particular still _really_ irks me; > > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=450758 Interesting - I didn't notice that ps did that. I do use that same feature in dpkg, when I want to see full fields (i.e., really long version strings): 'dpkg -l foobar | cat' -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
