Is anyone aware of any outstanding problems with the stricter find |
| 2 |
argument ordering required by findutils 4.2.20? xorg is no longer |
| 3 |
holding up 4.2.20 going stable -- are there any others? |
| 4 |
|

For those not aware of the problem, find must only be used in the |
| 6 |
following form: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
find paths program-options search-options actions |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Older findutils versions would silently accept most orderings. Newer |
| 11 |
versions will either barf or make lots of noise. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
(Sidenote: the paths part is mandatory. Current findutils will default |
| 14 |
to the current directory if no path is provided, but other |
| 15 |
implementations and future findutils versions may exit with an error.) |
