This patch excludes the loop patch. The loop patch checks that fd0 is a tty. Which, in case the --gauge option is given, is a pipe. --- dialog-0.6.spec.orig Thu Jan 20 14:45:14 2000 +++ dialog-0.6.spec Thu Jan 20 14:45:18 2000 @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ %setup -q %patch0 -p1 -b .ncurses %patch1 -p1 -b .opt -%patch2 -p1 -b .loop +# %patch2 -p1 -b .loop cd src make depend Second is fixed in dialog-0.6-15; as for the first, we're taking patches to make it smarter. Allright, then we got a gauge, but thats a gauge without the bar I used to
know. I patched gauge.c a little, and now it has the status IWGEFM
(It Works Good Enough For Me :)).
Ehh, does Marc still maintain dialog?

Hmmm, Debian has a cdialog0.9 version, based on dialog 0.6c I will look into rpm'ing that version. New features include time out etc... |
The 'dialog' tool provided in RH 6.0 distribution does not work in some cases. Two known bugs are: 1. dialog --yesno "hello" 80 20 leads to: Segmentation fault (core dumped) (above example just swaps correct "width" and "height") 2. for i in 20 40 60 80 ; do echo $i ; sleep 1 ; done |\ dialog --gauge "hello" 20 70 0 leads to: Broken pipe
