Only thing I know is that wordexp itself is new as of 10.4 (at least one package was blocked on 10.3 because it needed that function). Also, 10.4's manpage notes that the implementation is not complete: after talking all about the flags parameter, it says that the flags parameter is ignored. I'm guessing it's still a work-in-progress for apple:( I linked this mailing-list thread in the .info, so if you file anything with apple, please make a note there. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
