Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This has been discussed before -- see, for example:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-02/msg00079.html The default behaviour of 'rm' is dictated by POSIX and, as such, cannot be changed (unless POSIX itself changes it). It is usually considered a better practice to alias 'rm' if one wishes this type of protection. Additionally, there are thousands of scripts that rely on this behaviour... As such, closing WONTFIX. ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- use "-I" option for "rm" command by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
