Description Thomas Capricelli 2019-05-10 00:10:50 UTC

According to upstream main page (https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/), the following binaries/scripts are missing in what current ebuild installs:

chronic: runs a command quietly unless it fails
combine: combine the lines in two files using boolean operations
ts: timestamp standard input
vidir: edit a directory in your text editor
vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe
zrun: automatically uncompress arguments to command

I can confirm they are in the tgz, and (aha), the gentoo package installs the man pages for those.

Use the perl USE flag to install perl-based scripts.

Oops ! Indeed, sorry for the noise.
