In the first case ``ls'' is passed ``-al .'' and it is its own resposibility to replace ``.'' with ``/tmp'' (which is what ripit fails to do). In the second case, the replacement is done by the shell, so ``ls'' is passed ``-al /tmp''. > > Saying that ripit doesn't support relative directories, doesn't make it less > > of a bug. > > We can ask upstream to think about that Of course you can make it a ``feature'' by documenting it, which would take as much effort as fixing the bug and would still violate the principle of least surprise. -S -- debtags-organised WNPP bugs: http://members.hellug.gr/serzan/wnpp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
