text-utils is kinda out-of-date

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are several binaries in text-utils that are leveraged from BSD,
which seem to be out of date.  ( See
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/bsdmainutils/bsdmainutils_6.1.6.tar.gz)

Specifically, if I compare the versions in Debian's bsdmainutils to the
versions in util-linux-ng, I see that our col and friends have what
appears to be better wide-character support, while hexdump and such are
behind...

Should we merge them, or drop them? or just accept that the two forks
are different :-(  (I don't like that last option at all..)

thoughts?
