• Bug#267138: mmv uses # instead of = for wildcard indexes

    From Dan Nelson@1:229/2 to All on Fri Aug 20 23:00:18 2004

    Package: mmv
    Version: 1.01b-12
    Severity: normal

    The orignal mmv posting to comp.sources.unix uses the = character to
    identify a wildcard index in the target pattern:

    mmv "*.C" "=1.cpp"

    But debian seems to use # instead. This causes end-users much pain
    when running mmv on different OSes. You can fetch the sources from http://sources.isc.org/utils/file , or see the original posts at

    http://groups.google.com/[email protected] http://groups.google.com/[email protected] http://groups.google.com/[email protected]

    and see that '=' is the correct character. Maybe whoever created this
    mmv debian package pulled from a corrupt sharfile or something?
