Package: util-linux Version: 2.20.1-5.3 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Hi,
The flock utility is great, but sadly, it uses the flock syscall only, thus it does not interoperate with programs using fcntl locking (which seems to be preferred as it's more fine grained and works over NFS). I think adding (full file) fcntl locking support as an option would be pretty easy, if upstream is interested, and the name of the utility would not cause significant confusion. I'm willing to implement it if there's consensus. -- Regards, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
