Package: findutils
Version: 4.2.28-1
Severity: normal
The docs say that find -ls behaves as ls -dils. This is not true:
$ find /dev/hda -ls
1629 0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk Nov 7 12:23 /dev/hda
$ ls -dils /dev/hda
1629 0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Nov 7 12:23 /dev/hda
$
Find should print the device numbers for device nodes.
Greetings
Marc

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #18227 (project findutils):
I am (as yet) undecided on whether it's better to fix the documentation here,
or enhance the software.

Follow-up Comment #2:
If there's no clear mandate from the user base generally, I would say it's
better not to change the functionality, but instead change the documentation
to describe more accurately what the program does. Thoughts?

Follow-up Comment #4:
It turns out that this difference is caused by the fact that listfile.c checks
HAVE_ST_RDEV in order to figure out if it can print the major and minor
numbers. However, the configure script actually defines the preprocessor
macro HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_RDEV to indicate this instead (by calling
AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct stat.st_rdev])).
I've updated the check in listfile.c.
HAVE_ST_RDEV was defined by the obsolete Autoconf macro AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV.
In other words, this bug was introduced by an Autoconf upgrade which should
have been preceded by a change to use
I think this bug was introduced in change
5ad489925af16440017573e20f6f53c7d2cd5358:-
commit 5ad489925af16440017573e20f6f53c7d2cd5358
Author: Kevin Dalley <kevin@seti.org>
Date: Wed Apr 5 07:26:43 2000 +0000
* configure.in: add Galition and Estonian languages.
Miscellaneous other fixes.

Hence this bug probably first affects findutils-4.1.7.
