Why time package is not in base - it's required by IEEE Std 1003.1

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/00 … /time.html
Without `time` package from `extra` repo standard-compliant `time -p foo bar` doesn't work in `sh` or `sh --posix`.
Unfortunately I couldn't find discussion if any, as `time` is so common keyword.

So, GNU time last saw a release in 1996, and has to be patched in Linux so as not to produce garbage output. Not a very good standard piece of software!
I don't even see it in e.g. opensuse at all. And I've never heard of any software that requires it.

No, *you* come up with a decent example of something worth caring about

  • Why Underlying Software Component not in BASIS objects

    Hi,
    this problem has puzzled me for a while.
    I've create a software component SC1 in SLD with dependance on 2 software components SC2 and SC3 .
    SC2 also has a dependance on SC3.
    When I import the software component from SLD , SC2 and SC3 are liste un the "underlying software component versions for basis objects list" in the SLD Information tab of the Software component in ESR . However, in the details tab , only SC3 appears in the underlying software component versions list.
    This then means that SC2 is not in the basis objects and I need to manually add the SC2 in the details tab in order to use it.
    I dont mind but when you transport the SC, you need to do this again in every environnement which is error prone.
    Does anyone know why this is the case ... ? Do you have the same problem ? Solutions ?
    Thanks.

    Hi Patrick,
    if A is dependend from B (you see B as prerequisite in A) then you should have :
    at IB Repository A:
    own namespaces and imported object
    basis objects with
    B-namespace and imported objects, not changeable (if they are active in B!)
    at IB Repository B:
    only own namespace and imported objects

  • Time machine is not backing up photos in iphoto9 /Originals folder

    Just figure out the reason to cause lost of my photos after restore from Time Machine Backup:
    time machine is not backing up photos in iphoto/Originals folder from month ago;
    Here was how I tested the problem, I don't know why TM stop doing backup folder
    1) Import some new pictures from camera to iphoto library --> FINE , I can view the new imports in iphoto and also I can find the copies of imported files under iphoto Library/Originals (by Show package content)
    2) I closed iphoto and I manually ask TM to backup.
    3) After TM is done, I go to backup in TM, all newly imported photos are missing in the
    TM backup which I just created 5 min ago.!!
    No matter what, Apple need to fix this bug!!! How many people lost their precious data
    because iphoto & TM???? I will go back to 3rd party software to manually import photos
    and manage photos. You never know what's next bug and the result is very serious.
    I knew someone lost the whole year photos. !!! Be cautious!!!!!!
    AND I think somehow it is bug in the iphoto............
    PLease reply if you have similar problem!

    I just lost 6 months of photos! Same problem. Not sure why Time Machine did not back them up. I couldnt even get my iphoto '09 disk to install. Had to buy the new version because the system crashed.
    Any thoughts on how to find the 6 months of photos that are missing? Only thing I can think of is that iphoto started saving the new photos in a new library. Is that possible? If so where would I find it in my TM back ups?
    I really dislike Apple right now... I thought they never crashed.

  • Time machine - backup not found yet visible

    Hello,
    I am having trouble setting up Time Machine on a new Macbook Air running OSX Yosemite 10.10. 
    I have an external hard drive connected to a first generation Airport Extreme, and it is running fine and backing up on my other computer, a MacBook Pro which is running OS X version 10.7.5 and AirPort Utility 6.3.1.
    Yet when I purchased the new Macbook Air (listed above), which is using Airport Utility 6.3.4, upon opening Time Machine, it is not able to see my backup disk.  It just keeps saying "Set up an AirPort Time Capsule that is not listed here."  When I click "Setup" it brings me to the AirPort Utility, and I can see my AirPort Extreme, and further, when I click on my AirPort Extreme and "Edit" I am able to see my backup drive under the "Disks" header.  There is plenty of space as well. 
    Any reason why Time Machine is not able to see my backup disk, despite being able to see it in AirPort Utility?  I As I said, it is working fine on the MacBook Pro.
    Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Apple never officially supported Time Machine backups to a drive connected to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, Generations 1 through 5.
    Some users were able to make this work, and some were not up using operating systems up through Mountain Lion (10.8.x).
    Apple pretty much shut off the capability to even try this when Mavericks (10.9.x) was introduced, and this continues through Yosemite (10.10.x).

  • Time Machine does not back up all iTunes music files

    Hello, I'm trying to view the music files, on my Time Machine backup disc, from a CD that I recently imported into iTunes. My iTunes library resides on my hard drive. The backup disc shows files for some of the other music that is in my iTunes library, but not from the new CD. I did several backups after importing the new music, but the song files still do not show up in Time Machine. Any ideas for why the files don't show up?
    My ultimate aim is to copy those music files onto another computer, but my research on the support pages suggests that I should not do it this way. Instead, I will copy the music files onto another disc (not using Time Machine) and then import them onto the other computer. Please confirm that this is the best way to proceed.
    But in the meantime, I'm wondering why Time Machine does not show my newly imported music.
    Thanks very much for any help you can provide.

    New formulation of my question:
    A file dated at 10:00 may not appear in the back-up dated 11:00.

  • Why have all 3 airport express base stations stopped working, BT have checked and improved line still not working?

    Why have all 3 airport express base stations stopped working, other users are on ipads and BT have checked and improved line but I still have an intermittent/no connection?

    You must tell us the whole setup.. what is the main router?? How are the express connected to each other?
    On ipad it works ok?? But you are on a computer?? MBP early 2011 running Lion?? That doesn't work.. even if you are right next to the main router??
    Plugged in by ethernet does it work??
    Have you installed a wireless diagnostic program.. ?? Actually Lion has one installed but hidden I believe.
    Later version bought it to the surface.
    About Wireless Diagnostics
    If you do run Lion please install the 5.6 airport utility as it will give you loads more info on how the units are connected.. and link speeds for extend wireless.
    How to load 5.6 into later Lion & ML
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

  • Error target not found base-level failed to install the packages

    Im trying to install arch on my Virtualbox VM and its just returning:
    error target not found base-level failed to install the packages to new root
    What do I do? I have selected the right mirrors, pinging google, my own VPS's and a few other servers and they all pinged fine. Any ideas on whats up? Think my VPN's IP has been blocked and thats why I cant download anything? I have tried pacman -Ssy and it worked fine but still no.

    Please read the following and follow the advice included:

    With that, be sure to clarify whether the typo was just here on the forum, or whether it was also in your original command.  If it was in your original command, that would explain your results.

  • Each time I try to install itunes I get a windows installer message telling me that the installation package could not be opened.  Verify that the package exists and that you can access it???????????

    Each time I try to install itunes I get a windows installer message telling me that the installation package could not be opened.  Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package.....

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Why is my iPad not able to download mail for hours at a time while the iPhone next to it has no problem?

    Why is my iPad not able to download mail when the iPhone next to it can and the iPad may be able to do it 24 hours later with no change in settings?  This happens with multiple email accounts at the same time in several locations on many occasions.  The setting is to check emails every 15 minutes.   It says it is checking but nothing comes up while it does on my Mac or iPhone

    I have exactly the same problem here.
    Can see new email appearing straight away on the iPhone and Windows pc, but very erratic on the iPad.  Sometimes the emails appear immediately on the iPad, other times they don't appear for hours. 
    One thing I have noticed if I go and change the "delete messages - remove" setting to something other than what it was set (for instance from "never" to "one month") it seems to jiggle something and the outstanding emails all suddenly appear.

  • As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. What causes this?

    As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app/site I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). This is when I'm Internet online. If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. Some of the possibilities I'm guessing are: glitches in my Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi providership?; staying too long on a site that's waiting for me to finish and "Submit"?; computer hardware prob (yikes, I hope not! It's brand new). Any ideas out there?

    When this 'white-out' occurs, is the display 100% white with no error message and no menu bar?
    Does this occur when you are using Wi Fi or connected to the Internet via the Ethernet cable?
    Ciao.

  • Packages are NOT transferring to new DP after adding it to a DP group - WHY!!!?

    I am in the midst of trying to put together a Windows 8.1 DP and when I check the Distmgr.log, everything looks fine. Then when I add it to a DP group that my primary DP is a member of for the simple purpose of having those packages transferred over to the
    new DP, I don't see any packages at all under the Content tab of the DP properties for the new Windows 8.1 DP with the exception of the Configuration Manager Client Package. Also, I created an AD group and named it SCCM Site Servers and I added my Site Server
    to that and then added that group to the local admins group on the Windows 8.1 DP. 
    I need some help in determining why packages are not getting transferred, please HELP!
    Here is what I am referring to:
    When I check the pkgxfermgr.log, I see the following errors:

    Thanks for the response, Jeff, I appreciate it. 
    Yes sir, that is what I stated initially up above in the posting:
    Also, I created an AD group and named it SCCM Site Servers and I added my Site Server to that and then added that group to the local admins group on the Windows 8.1 DP. 
    Any other ideas what could be causing this? 
    I have never seen this before, obviously, so I am a tad stumped.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

    kindly suggest right answers to overcome this?
    with regards

    hi,
    Go to logistics general and see whether for the excise group migo settings are maintained.
    See for the material in depot chapter id and excise indicators are maintained ie J1ID.
    since depot also considered as plant so the chapter id and plant combination has to be maintained.
