How about a question: why are you turning the FreeBSD find into the GNU find? The changes in the first patch looked like they added real functionality that wasn't available in other tools. These seem to be gratuitous changes to make things compatible with GNU. If I want a GNU-compatible find on FreeBSD, I can install the misc/findutils port. If I really wanted the GNU toolset, I could run them on a Linux kernel. However, I'm more comfortable with the Unix toolset (which GNU, as it's own name points out, *isn't*), so the direction taken by these patches make me more than a bit uncomfortable. Hence the question: why are you turning the FreeBSD find into the GNU find? http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
