COPYRIGHT --------- This package was originally an `alien', debianized by the alien program by converting the GPLed RPMS Package `tmpwatch-1.2' on Thu, 13 Nov 1997 02:16:28 -0800. Authors: Erik Troan, Karl M. Hegbloom, Paul Slootman Copyright 1997 Erik Troan Copyright 1997, 1998 Karl M.

The original `tmpwatch-1.2' was downloaded from ftp.redhat.com by karlheg@inetarena.com. (You can find the current repository at https://fedorahosted.org/tmpwatch/) Thank You, Erik Troan. This program was sorely needed. We always appreciate the things you provide for the Linux community. I could not have even begun to write a program like this one from scratch. Without the initial program to build on, it would not have been possible. I've learned a lot from this experience. karlheg: Sun, Dec 7, 1997: I am renaming this program from `tmpwatch' to `tmpreaper' to split away from RedHat, who released a `tmpwatch-1.4' with RedHat v5.0 that had zero of the patches I sent for `1.2-1.4'. They made one small patch: --- tmpwatch-1.2.c Mon Nov 17 21:16:37 1997 +++ tmpwatch-1.4/tmpwatch.c Thu Nov 6 13:58:34 1997 @@ -157,7 +157,7 @@ message(LOG_VERBOSE, "removing directory %s\n", ent->d_name); if (!(flags & FLAGS_TEST)) { - if (!(flags & FLAGS_ALLFILES)) { + if (flags & FLAGS_ALLFILES) { if (rmdir(ent->d_name)) { message(LOG_ERROR, "failed to rmdir %s: %s\n", dirname, ent->d_name); This does not reflect any of the changes I made and submitted to them, including the bug that prompted me to begin working on `tmpwatch' to begin with. The `--test' option was broken. The getopt loop fills a variable with some flags to be passed to cleanDirectory, but when that function is called for the first time, he passes a 0 as the flags argument. In main(), it goes: - cleanupDirectory(argv[optind], killTime, 0); + cleanupDirectory (argv[optind], killTime, flags);
