I noticed two minor yet painful things in 4.6-STABLE today. 1. For some reason the following invocation of tar is broken by now: tar -c -z -f ../t.tgz -T ../t.lst . test sequence: a) mkdir t b) cat > t.lst (type several lines - for instance, 1 2 3) c) cd t d) touch 1 2 3 4 e) tar -c -z -f ../t.tgz -T ../t.lst . Notice that ../t.tgz contains not just 1 2 3 but also 4, moreover the whole tar contents look somehow strange. At the same time tar taken from 4.6-RELEASE works perfectly, but I saw the version was changed in the middle. 2. For some reason sh(1) doesn't handle things like 'command & && echo 1' anymore. And this used to work perfectly _for years_ (literally) until now. In fact, I myself have got a lot of shell scripts where I use something like /usr/local/sbin/wgated.sh & && \ echo "started" which are now all broken :) Is it a historical bug/behaviour fixed or serious bug introduced? I'll appreciate it if someone would clarify these obstacles. -- Andrey Alekseyev. Zenon N.S.P.
