Title:
gzip does not provide keep input files option
Status in “gzip” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in “gzip” package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gzip
bzip2 gives a -k or --keep option which prevents the source files from
being deleted. gzip does not have this. It is highly useful when a
number of files have to be compressed/decompressed. Otherwise we are
forced to write a for x in $(ls *.gz) kind of script when just two
letters "-k" will solve the problem.
I created a patch for this.
I have requested the original creators and the Debian maintainer to
include this, but there has been no response, no yes or no from them.
I file this bug therefore in Ubuntu so that at least my favourite
distro has this feature. I will attach patch in next step.
