Hi Jim, Thanks for incorporating mktemp into Coreutils. We're currently using a patch in Linux From Scratch that installs a `tempfile' wrapper script, for those packages still out in the wild that call `tempfile' rather than `mktemp'. Would such a wrapper, or similar functionality be of interest for Coreutils? If so, the patch can be found at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/lfs/development/mktemp-1.5-add_tempfile-3.patch, though it may need massaging for the Coreutils implementation.
Regards, Matt. PS: The URLs in that patch, which detail the background behind it, are out of date. They're now at: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2003-April/033586.html http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2003-June/035233.html http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2005-June/051906.html _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
