Package: rename Version: 0.20-4 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? writing a shell script which possibly deals with filenames starting with "-" * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I looked at `man rename`. Then i experimented and think, that rename indeed does support double-dash. * What was the outcome of this action? undocumented use of bare double dash. * What outcome did you expect instead? i hope that one day bare double dash will be considered standard implementation for command line programs. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.8 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages rename depends on: ii perl 5.20.2-3+deb8u6 rename recommends no packages. rename suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
