Synopsis: [patch] cp(1) show percentage complete State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended State-Changed-By: arundel State-Changed-When: Thu Oct 21 18:37:19 UTC 2010 State-Changed-Why: no src committer has taken any interest in this patch. there are probably a number of reasons for that: - your patch adds new functionality to a very basic UNIX application. in general those patches will almost never make it into the src tree, because people tend to consider those applications to be "perfectly designed without any need for additions" - the funcionality of your patch can be reproduced by hitting ^T during copying - alternatives to the base cp with the same or more advanced features than your patch exist in the ports collection for those reasons i'm suspending this PR. thanks a lot for your work and sorry for not attracting any committer. i highly recommend you get a few opinions from committers on freebsd-hackers@ or freebsd-current@ next time before implementing new features into long existing applications. cheers. alex http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=144531
