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
