The project team has decided to change the proposal to remove the
contentious builtins for /usr/gnu. Instead, only /usr/bin and
/usr/xpg4,xpg6 utilities are being provided as builtins. As these
utilities will hopefully one day be converted to use the same underlying
libcmd interface, this should not be contentious.
I'm restarting the timeout for one week from today (timeout expires
April 7). The revised spec follows.
Given that this case is building upon pre-existing built-in
architecture, I don't have any issues specific to this case that should
hold it up. +1
That said, I think one thread of substance from the lengthy discussion
this case spawned relates to the duplicity of code between the commands
and their built-in equivalents. This is more a commentary of the
implementation of built-ins in general, and not of the specific
built-ins introduced by this case. Having architecture introduced to
allow a shared implementation (as Garrett hopes will be the case with
libcmd above) would be a good thing.
