dircolors -T and $INSTALL_DESTDIR


From: Daniel Reed
Subject: dircolors -T and $INSTALL_DESTDIR

Heya,

I've got a couple patches against GNU fileutils 4.1, specifically
src/dircolors.c and src/install.c .

The former [re?]introduces dircolors -t, as a synonym for dircolors -c, and
alters its behaviour to be more along the lines of the version distributed
with Slackware Linux. Specifically, the OPTIONS, COLOR, and EIGHTBIT options
in /etc/DIRCOLORS will be honoured, $LS_OPTIONS will be set, and various
traditional aliases will also be set.

The latter introduces the environment variable $INSTALL_DESTDIR, for use by
package systems that wish to enforce $DESTDIR on non-autoconf'd packages
that use install. If $INSTALL_DESTDIR is set, install will prefix all
targets with its contents. It may be best to have install ignore
$INSTALL_DESTDIR if it matches the beginning of the target, but this patch
does not currently implement that.

Feel free to contact me if there are any concerns with the patches.

Thanks,
--
