uld work around things while we wait for the kernel and/or glibc to bring things back into POSIX spec compliance, or to determine that test-readlink was over-strict and can be relaxed to allow the new behavior. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com+1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

g is only triggered when you are violating POSIX. On the other hand, as a quality of implementation issue, I totally agree that this is not good practice for GNU software. In the meantime, perhaps Autoconf should document that all autom4te input files should always end in newline. - -- Life

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #14619 (project findutils): You had a slight typo in comment #9 - with umask 0022, the mode "+r" evaluates as 0200 (or perhaps you meant umask 0002, to get 0220), from the point of view of chmod. But your doc patch looked nice. See my note 1 at the end of comment #3.

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #14619 (project findutils): Might I suggest the following documentation approach for the man and info pages: -perm mode: exact match of set and unset bits in symbolic or numeric mode; includes symbolic modes with leading '+' but not with leading '-' -perm -mode: match

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #14619 (project findutils): The POSIX rules are that -perm mode only returns true on files that exactly match mode, if mode is a valid POSIX mode without a leading -; and the POSIX grammar for valid modes includes leading +. The old findutils behavior were often incompa
