I do like to think of iterative approaches that build upon and reinforce pr= ior works. The shortcomings of distfetch, distextract, and cksum are also solved by wa= y of fixing the other issue of them not being able to run in a dialog(1,3)-less environment -- regardless of that being a decision that is made at compile-= time or runtime. I think the best approach would be to use isatty(3)/stty(1) at runtime to invoke the same code-path as WITHOUT_DIALOG. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
