Description Behdad Esfahbod 2006-02-14 08:33:56 UTC
Description of problem:

There's this perl script written by a debian maintainer that
replays typescript and timing data gathered by script(1).
Would be nice to include it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-2.12p-9.13

Comment 1 Karel Zak 2006-02-14 09:49:05 UTC
Please, include the script to our bugzilla as attachment. Thanks.

Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-02-14 23:33:59 UTC
Seems like it has been accepted upstream.  It is in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/util-linux-2.12r.tar.bz2 for
example, under misc-utils/scriptreplay.

Comment 3 Karel Zak 2006-02-15 11:15:58 UTC
Ah, sorry. I know this script :-) The problem is that it's perl script and I
think we don't want to create dependence on Perl for basic packages (like
util-linux). Sorry. WONTFIX.

Comment 4 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-02-16 00:10:23 UTC
Makes sense.  I'll try to rewrite it in C :)

Comment 5 Adam Spiers 2006-03-24 23:51:35 UTC
Forgive me for saying it, but C rewrites aside, I don't believe this is the
right resolution.  The tiny minority of folks who decide not to install Perl
(and I'm struggling to imagine why they wouldn't - do you know of anyone like
this?) are extremely unlikely to care if they're missing this replay
functionality.  OTOH, there's a much bigger chance that some folks who do have
Perl would like this functionality but are being deprived of it just because of
a technicality regarding dependencies.

I notice with interest that SUSE 10.0 has included scriptreplay and even quite
happily introduced a dependency on Perl from util-linux.

Just my opinion, anyhow.

Comment 6 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-03-25 01:40:51 UTC
For what it's worth, I've got the functionality added to script(1) itself as a
commandline argument.  I will submit it here and then upstream after cleaning it
up a bit.
