34 | <para>This package has an issue when compiled against versions of
|
---|
35 | Glibc later than 2.3.2. Some of the Coreutils utilities (such as
|
---|
36 | <command>head</command>, <command>tail</command>, and
|
---|
37 | <command>sort</command>) will reject their traditional syntax, a
|
---|
38 | syntax that has been in use for approximately 30 years. This old
|
---|
39 | syntax is so pervasive that compatibility should be preserved until
|
---|
40 | the many places where it is used can be updated. Backwards
|
---|
41 | compatibility is achieved by setting the
|
---|
42 | <envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar> environment variable to
|
---|
43 | <quote>199209</quote> in the above command. If you do not want
|
---|
44 | Coreutils to be backwards compatible with the traditional syntax, then
|
---|
45 | omit setting the <envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar>
|
---|
46 | environment variable. It is important to remember that doing so will
|
---|
47 | have consequences, including the need to patch the many packages that
|
---|
48 | still use the old syntax. Therefore, it is recommended that the
|
---|
49 | instructions be followed exactly as given above.</para>
