Old bugs filed against binary package 'timeout'
Hello,
I'm trying to triage bugs which have no maintainer (anymore)[1] and I've
noticed a few bugs filed against the binary package 'timeout' which was
last present in etch.
>From reading a few of the bug reports it is my understanding that
coreutils now provides a similar command which is why the source package
tct is not building timeout anymore.
In this case all bugs filed against timeout[2] should probably just be
closed.
What do you think?
[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=
[2] according to 'querybts --buglist timeout':
#531025 change in usage should be doc in NEWS. timeout command always take 'time' seconds to finish
#585745 Please drop timeout binary package
#520323 wrong exit code when timeout not reached
#639197 timeout program does not return exit status of executed program
#531787 timeout move to coreutils?
#399769 timeout: bad support for processes which use a process group
#292817 timeout: Please support more time formats
Kind regards,
Andrei
