Subject: Updated: moreutils v0.67-1
Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2022 12:32:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+kUOakguLnUVJgvfRaYvSoZbsw9WOqAPhUyqLq4gvGpS2N1Sw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Version 0.67-1 of moreutils has been uploaded, and should be coming
soon to a mirror to a mirror near you.

This is an update to the latest upstream release; it includes the
following changes:

- README: Formalize that I am not adding new tools to moreutils, and
have not for a long while. This package needs someone new to take over
editorial responsibility.

- Makefile: Install man pages without executable bit. Thanks, meator

- ifne.1: Improve example that pipes to mail to avoid escape sequences.

Moreutils is a "collection of the unix tools that nobody thought to
write long ago when unix was young."

From the upstream website, https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/:

Probably the most general purpose tool in moreutils so far is
sponge(1), which lets you do things like this:

    % sed "s/root/toor/" /etc/passwd | grep -v joey | sponge /etc/passwd

There are lots more listed below, and I'm always interested to add
more to the collection, as long as they're suitably general-purpose,
and don't duplicate other well-known tools.

- chronic: runs a command quietly unless it fails
- combine: combine the lines in two files using boolean operations
- errno: look up errno names and descriptions
- ifdata: get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output
- ifne: run a program if the standard input is not empty
- isutf8: check if a file or standard input is utf-8
- lckdo: execute a program with a lock held
- mispipe: pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
- parallel: run multiple jobs at once
- pee: tee standard input to pipes
- sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file
- ts: timestamp standard input
- vidir: edit a directory in your text editor
- vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe
- zrun: automatically uncompress arguments to command
