Subject: pre-R5 deficiencies
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 17:07:22 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199901262207.RAA06012@wrath.iatlas.com> (raw)
Hi all,
Perhaps I'm rehashing something but I couldn't find it searching the
archives, so:
What is the reasoning behind including a findutils in pre-R5 that has no
updatedb binary?? It even has scripts that use updatedb (cron jobs) but
no updatedb binary. Furthermore, 'rpm -qlp *.rpm' reveals that it is not
included in any package.
After quite a lot of effort installing pre-R5 a couple of weeks ago I
reverted back to my creaky barely-R4 from ages ago because I was so
shocked that the most useful tool for feeling your way in a new
installation was simply not there. It gives the impression of a very
not-ready product, which is counter to the impression I get from you
folks.
I just checked back today after a couple of weeks to find a few packages
updated on 15 Jan, but not findutils.
Just curious!
Cheers,
ira
