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? |

|

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 |

|
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.) |
