Description:

This update for fdupes provides the following fixes and enhancements:

  • Add new options: --nohidden, --permissions, --order, --reverse, --immediate.
  • Speed up file comparison.
  • Fix bug where fdupes fails to consistently ignore hardlinks, depending on file processing order, when F_CONSIDERHARDLINKS flag is not set.
  • Using tty for interactive input instead of regular stdin. This is to allow feeding filenames via stdin in future versions of fdupes without breaking interactive deletion feature.
  • Sort the output of fdupes by filename to make it deterministic for parallel builds. (bsc#1005386)
