Well, there is a general problem, on Linux: people write scripts that call "tar" using a commandline that would never be accepted by a compliant tar implementation. Typical Linux problems could be dramatically reduced if Linux did install gtar as gtar and if scripts that expect the gtar CLI called gtar instead of calling tar.

So, should GNU ls be installed as gls instead and ls be an implementation that does not recognize most of the options we have come to find useful? That would, rather than reduce, issue new problems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
