My two thoughts: 1. Is this the only problem building Debian packages? I would have thought the different model, including permissions, etc would mess up the Debian package. 2. Is it possible to get find to autodetect the file system, and use -noleaf only as required? Maybe get it to look for . and .. and if it can't find them, automatically use -noleaf. Embedding filesystem specific changes like this into every package would seem to be the wrong solution, IMHO. -- Brian May [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Personally, I don't see that we need to support building Debian packages on systems (including file systems) that don't support Unix semantics. If we can fix building for AFS by merely changing find, good, but requiring changes to all, many, or even any packaging scripts because of this sounds like a bad idea to me. -- Even a bad picture is worth 500 words. --Droidy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

This change would seem appropriate even if we don't support building packages. I don't think users of find should need to add a file-system specific option to the command line just to get it to work. It would be like if there was a separate version of ls for every filesystem, eg. ls_ext2, ls_xfs, ls_resierfs, ls_vfat - OK - maybe this is a bit extreme, but I think it illustrates my point. -- Brian May [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
