[gentoo-dev] coreutils: deprecated behavior not so deprecated

[gentoo-dev] coreutils: deprecated behavior not so deprecated

[Mike Frysinger]

as a heads up, the next version of coreutils i add to portage (5.93) drops 
support for all those options upstream had labeled before as simply 
"deprecated" ... this isnt a patch i'm adding or not adding, upstream finally 
cut out all the code with these latest releases

for those who dont know what i'm talking about, consider:
tail -1
head -1
<some other stuff i cant remember>
these things wont work anymore ... you had your warn time, now get over it

note: for those who think they can argue for support of these features to be 
kept in Gentoo, you're barking up the wrong tree so dont waste your time

Pretty much the same issue for findutils-4.3. You'll have to get the
argument order correct and remember to include the path.

One would suppose that newer coreutils goes in ~arch so the ~arch version 
should be tested, mainly.
xine-ui 0.99.4-r3 has that fixed at least.

it would seem i lied about this (at least the first two still work)

the source code was refactored and i assumed this to mean they cut out the 
backwards compat code without looking deeper into the source in case they had 
actually moved it, my bad

Still, the behavior of "tail -1" and "head -1" should be fixed in the packages 
that are implementing it.  I suppose your previous e-mail was good enough 
warning that this behavior is deprecated and will be removed at somepoint 
from coreutils.

FYI:
sort +0 doesn't work anymore.  Not sure, but it seems to control the
sorting order, sort +1 sorts reverse, all the rest normal.
autofs uses this in the auto.net script, which causes the automounter to
get broken.  Bug #120403.
