In coreutils 5.2.1-2, the -i and -p flags are not listed in the uname man page, which is mostly generated from the --help output. Removing them from Info may be too much work, because of section 4 of the GFDL. (/usr/share/doc/coreutils/copyright mentions "removal of the doc/ subdirectory"; what's that?) However, I think something should still be changed. Currently, uname -p or -i does not give the same error message as other unsupported options: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname --processor uname: unrecognized option `--processor' Try `uname --help' for more information. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -Z uname: invalid option -- Z Try `uname --help' for more information. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -p Try `uname --help' for more information. This happens because "p" and "i" are still present in the string of supported options that uname.c gives to getopt_long. The attached patch fixes that.
coreutils (5.2.1-2.kon.1) local; urgency=low
* Local version!
* src/uname.c (main): Don't recognize -i and -p at all. (See: #193170)
