Message #5 received at submit@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Package: findutils
Version: 4.2.27-3
Severity: normal
afaik, you mostly need -nowarn when you can't change where options go.
this occurs when you have something like this:
afind () { #archive find with -depth and maybe other cpio/afio features
#sort -ru?
#nowarn is just for command line option syntax things
find "${@:?}" -depth
}
but this version of find will give the warning even if you put -nowarn
in front of -depth. you cannot put it anywhere else.
my suggested fix is to allow -nowarn anywhere on the command line.
thanks.

Summary: -nowarn produces a warning if specified after
non-option

Details:
ametzler@argenau:~$ find /tmp/find-4.1.20-6 -print -nowarn
find: warning: you have specified the -nowarn option after a non-option
argument -print, but options are not positional (-nowarn affects tests
specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify
options before other arguments.
It seems to be strange that -nowarn can trigger the warning, I tend to agree
with the original submitter: "my suggested fix is to allow -nowarn anywhere
on the command line."
