Aw damn, I missed it again. LKML gets about 300 posts/day. The last time util-linux was offered, I missed out. Bummer.
Well, how about giving me a chunk of it? I'd like /bin/kill please. I already ship a nicer one in procps anyway, so you can just delete the files and call that done. (just today I was working on a Fedora system and /bin/kill annoyed me)
VERY STRONG SUGGESTION: build a full test suite before you mess with the source. This isn't some cute toy like xeyes or a silly game. This is util-linux, which MUST work. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
