openssh bugs - Aug 2004 - [Bug 912] PATCH: Fix head(1) call in regress/yes-head.sh

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=912

           Summary: PATCH: Fix head(1) call in regress/yes-head.sh
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Miscellaneous
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: jason at devrandom.org


This is a itty bitty patch to change head to use '-n LINES' instead of
'-LINES' since GNU's coreutils is deprecating that usage for POSIX
1003.1-2001
compliance.  GNU's doc reference:

http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_chapter/coreutils_5.html#SEC18

I believe 'hean -n LINES' is portable everywhere.

It has been suggested that setting (and exporting) _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
someplace like test-exec.sh will cause head (and possibly other programs?) to
accept older options.  IMHO that's the best option.
