Hello all,

This is the last summary of ruby-dev ML in the 1st decade :slight_smile:

[ruby-dev:19588] Re: FileUtils.pwd

Minero Aoki answered Nobu’s proposal for FileUtils module
in [ruby-dev:19544].

  1. copy_file supports IO as arguemnts
=> added a new method copy_stream
  1. cmp supports IO as arguments
=> added a new method compare_stream and compare_file, an alias
   of cmp
  1. uptodate? can be defined whether Time#mtime or Time#ctime
    is used for comparing time
=> rejected: it is enough to support only Time#mtime.
  1. uptodate? supports Time as an argument to compare time.
=> rejected: it is not obvious to support it or not by method name.

Neat :slight_smile: I tried this once, but as a wrapper around regular regexps -
much nicer to have it built in. How are conflicts handled?
