https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244139 Bug ID: 244139 Summary: random(6) since r355693 does not support a double value for denominator Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: kwhite@site.uottawa.ca Created attachment 211671 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D211671&action= =3Dedit allow denomitator to be a double again random(6) pre-r355693 supported a double value for denominator. This made = it possible to select roughly 99%, say, of the lines in an input file using "random 1.01", or roughly 51% of the lines with "random 1.96". Both these cases are now equivalent to "random 1" and return all lines. The attached patch returns this functionality. Salt to taste. [Patch r356810 resolved another problem with r355693.] --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
