I am interested in adding "progress bar" feature to "cp" and "mv" commands. For this I downloaded the latest source code GNU-coreutils-8.21.
I have fair knowledge of "C" and can understand the code.
However the code is too big and I m right now confused as to what to do or where to start from, or what should I read and which part of code I should focus.
Is this too ambitious to start with ?
Kindly guide me.
Hi Lokesh,
I am not a maintainer, but I would find it surprising if progress bar would be accepted this time.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-12/msg00120.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2010-09/msg00052.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2011-08/msg00015.html
But perhaps something could be done with the proposal. Would it make sense to add 'rejected feature requests' section to
http://www.pixelbeat.org/patches/coreutils/inbox_apr_2013.html
and have a link to latest summary in README.hacking? IMHO the rejected section should contain only features which has already been discussed couple times, such as the progress bar in cp or mv.
