When emerging xine-lib 1_rc3 i noticed that one of the portions of the configure script was reporting an error: tail: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1' Try `tail --help' for more information. this may not be correct in all cases but sooner or later it will come to be in the stable version. i dont know if the -n is in the older versions of tail or not seeing as all my boxes are unstable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xine-lib 1_rc3 2. 3. Actual Results: tail: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1' Try `tail --help' for more information. with tail (coreutils) 5.0.91 installed, previously you could do a tail -X where X is a number but now this option is obsolete. which causes an error in the configuration script Expected Results: continued through with out above stated error by editing the configure file and changing the tail -1 to tail -n 1 it proceded to run properly.
closing with stable coreutils-5.0.91-r4
