| 34 | <para>This package has an issue when compiled against versions of glibc
|
---|
| 35 | later than 2.3.2. Some of the Coreutils utilities (such as
|
---|
[ede9b9b] | 36 | (<command>head</command>, <command>tail</command> and <command>sort</command>)
|
---|
| 37 | will reject their traditional syntax, a syntax that has been in use for
|
---|
[c91dd5b] | 38 | approximately 30 years. This old syntax is so pervasive that compatibility
|
---|
[673b0d8] | 39 | should be preserved until the many places where it is used can be
|
---|
| 40 | updated. Backwards compatibility is achieved by setting the
|
---|
| 41 | DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION environment variable to "199209" in the above
|
---|
| 42 | command. If you don't want coreutils to be backwards compatible
|
---|
| 43 | with the traditional syntax, then simply omit setting the DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION
|
---|
| 44 | environment variable. Realise though, that doing so will mean you'll have
|
---|
| 45 | to deal with the consequences yourself: patch the many packages that still use
|
---|
| 46 | the old syntax. We therefore recommend using the instructions exactly as given
|
---|
| 47 | above.</para>
