tag 558989 patch thanks Hi,
According to http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/test.html -nt and -ot were from the KornShell. According to the KornShell documentation at http://www2.research.att.com/sw/download/man/man1/ksh.html file1 -nt file2 True, if file1 exists and file2 does not, or file1 is newer than file2. file1 -ot file2 True, if file2 exists and file1 does not, or file1 is older than file2. The attached patch should make dash follow this behavior. -- Matt http://ftbfs.org/kraai
