restore djgpp, eventually
merge TODO lists
add unit tests for lib/*.c
rewrite du.c not to use explicit recursion
strip: add an option to specify the program used to strip binaries.
suggestion from Karl Berry
doc/coreutils.texi:
Address this comment: FIXME: mv's behavior in this case is system-dependent
Better still: fix the code so it's *not* system-dependent.
implement --target-directory=DIR for install (per texinfo documentation)
ls: add --format=FORMAT option that controls how each line is printed.
cp --no-preserve=X should not attempt to preserve attribute X
reported by Andreas Schwab
printf: support %b -- consider adapting builtins/printf.def from bash
copy.c: Address the FIXME-maybe comment in copy_internal.
And once that's done, add an exclusion so that `cp --link'
no longer incurs the overhead of saving src. dev/ino and dest. filename
in the hash table.
Apply suggestion from Paul Jarc to use something along the
lines of http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/setuidgid.html to avoid
kludges (as in tests/rm/fail-2eperm) when running tests as root.
See if we can be consistent about where --verbose sends its output:
These all send --verbose output to stdout:
head, tail, rm, cp, mv, ln, chmod, chown, chgrp, install, ln
These send it to stderr:
shred mkdir split
readlink is different
