Hi all !
I'm here to ask you evaluate inclusion of a new simple program into coreutils.
It has a simple name "Banner" and here is the
Description :
Banner fills an apparent hole in GNU/Linux - that is, that is does not provide
a "banner" program itself, while nearly all UNIX systems seem to do so.
Banner prints a "banner" on the screen that corresponds to the first 10
characters of a string entered on the command line, in a way similar to
what you might see when using Solaris or AIX. There are fancier things out
there, but this is nice and simple.
=================================================
NOTE yourself, that this program is not new, it's stable, proven,
useful, and simple.
You can get the Source RPM from:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/mandrivalinux/official/2006.0/SRPMS/contrib/banner-1.3.1-1mdk.src.rpm
Or the source tar.gz from:
ftp://cedar-solutions.com/software/banner-1.3.1.tar.gz
So what do you think ?
