Hi James, I understand, ... ... but huh? OpenSuSE-12.2 and Fedora 16+ are already on 4.5.10 (Ubuntu and Debian are still on 4.4.2), and there's only been 1 single commit in 2012: $ git log | grep ^Date: | head -n 2 Date: Mon Jun 4 12:30:52 2012 +0200 Date: Fri Dec 30 12:16:09 2011 +0000 Any plans how to get out of this? Have a nice day, Berny _______________________________________________ Findutils-patches mailing list Findutils-patches@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/findutils-patches
