I try quite hard not to create gratuitous incompatibilities. > And, yes, new format databases seem to be portable across our > various platforms. Thanks for the help. I should add in some test suite tests that relate to continued support for the old database format. Could you please generate a locate database in the old format on Solaris (with any version of findutils, but ideally both 4.1.x and 4.2.27) so that I can use it as a test input? Ideally this would contain less than 5 files or so, so that we an avoid any need for a copyright assignment. Any old junk filenames will do (but not anything confidential obviously). Many thanks, James. _______________________________________________ Bug-findutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-findutils
