Feature changed by: Pascal Bleser (pbleser) Feature #310201, revision 3 Title: Include a pastebin script in the distribution openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Pascal Bleser (pbleser) Description: It would help tremendously if we would include a pastebin script (e.g. pastebinit, which is in network:utilities and Contrib) in the stock distribution. Given that it is really small, we ought to include it in the core patterns (i.e. always install it). Point being that we very, very often ask people who come with questions on our IRC support channel (#opensuse on freenode) to pastebin output of commands or files, and having something like pastebinit would make that even easier. But that's pointless (making it easier) if we have to guide them through adding a repository and installing pastebinit first. Hence including it into the distribution. Discussion: #1: Daniel Pecka (dpecka) (2010-07-22 09:59:48) hi there, i have my own pastebin.pl script which works pretty nice, a lot of people are using it and i have never had get reported any problem other then feature request .. you can find script here: http://pastebin.ca/1905845 (http://pastebin.ca/1905845) regards, daniel + #2: Pascal Bleser (pbleser) (2010-07-24 13:21:24) (reply to #1) + Having reviewed your script, I'd have the following remarks + * it has less features, as it doesn't support several pastebin sites + (pastebinit does, in a plugin-like manner) + * the code quality is quite inferior, as it lacks proper error handling + in many places, doesn't properly handle temporary files/directories + (fixed temporary file name, instead of using mktemp), nor their cleanup + (should use an EXIT handler function with trap) + So I don't see any reason for using that instead of a properly upstream + maintained and more featureful pastebinit ;) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310201
