Description Sven Hoexter 2014-11-26 15:58:36 UTC

Hi Sven et al,
is it possible to update moreutils in the EPEL 6 repo to a more up to date version?

The version currently in EPEL 6 diverted a bit too far from the one I've on Debian based systems and includes some new commands.

Just a nice to have if you've some time, I would appreciate it.

Regards,
Sven

It would be nice to have this updated in all EPEL versions.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 is end of life.

EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
