Bug 83906

Summary: `genlop' man-page uses deprecated `tail' format
Product: Gentoo Linux Reporter: Prof. Jonathan King <squash>
Component: [OLD] UnspecifiedAssignee: Portage Tools Team <tools-portage>
Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM    
Severity: trivial    
Priority: High    
Version: unspecified   
Hardware: All   
OS: Linux

Description Prof. Jonathan King 2005-03-02 20:36:53 UTC
From the `genlop' man-page:

       To view last 10 merge, run
       genlop -l | tail -10

Executing this yields this warning:

    tail: `-10' option is obsolete; use `-n 10' since this 
    will be removed in the future

To avoid future bug reports, it may be worthwhile scanning all
man-pages and Gentoo documentation pages, to update occurrences
of the archaic form of `tail'.

Comment 1 Prof. Jonathan King 2005-03-02 20:46:20 UTC
For ebuilds (as opposed to documentation) this bug was
already found:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23116

The script alluded to there may be useful for Gentoo
documentation.

We don't maintain genlop (and it's manpage), only the ebuild.

Fair enough.  I see that the bug is now marked "Upstream".  Where
upstream did you send it, please?
