mv not found

[Susensio]

I'm running tldr 0.9.2-2+b1 from debian testing repo, and today I found that "tldr page for command mv not found". I updated the database but nothing changed.

[psibi]

Are other commands working fine ? Because it does seem to be working for me:

❯ tldr mv
mv

Move or rename files and directories.
More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/mv.

 - Move a file to an arbitrary location:
   mv source target
.....

[Susensio]

Its not working. But the file exists. Can I debug this somehow?

susensio@nuc:~/.config/tldr$ fd mv
    common/aws-s3-mv.md
    common/convmv.md
    common/git-mv.md
    common/mmv.md
    common/mv.md
    common/mvn.md
    common/qmv.md
    common/semver.md
    common/zmv.md
susensio@nuc:~/.config/tldr$ tldr mmv
    mmv

    Move and rename files in bulk.
    More information: <https://manned.org/mmv.1>.

    - Rename all files with a certain extension to a different extension:
      mmv "*.old_extension" "#1.new_extension"

    - Copy `report6part4.txt` to `./french/rapport6partie4.txt` along with all similarly named files:
      mmv -c "report*part*.txt" "./french/rapport#1partie#2.txt"

    - Append all `.txt` files into one file:
      mmv -a "*.txt" "all.txt"

    - Convert dates in filenames from "M-D-Y" format to "D-M-Y" format:
      mmv "[0-1][0-9]-[0-3][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].txt" "#3#4-#1#2-#5#6#7#8.txt"

susensio@nuc:~/.config/tldr$ tldr mv

      # mv

      - Move a file to an arbitrary location:

      `mv {{source}} {{target}}`

      - Move files into another directory, keeping the filenames:

      `mv {{source1}} {{source2}} {{source3}} {{target_directory}}`

      - Do not prompt for confirmation before overwriting existing files:

      `mv -f {{source}} {{target}}`

      - Prompt for confirmation before overwriting existing files, regardless of file permissions:

      `mv -i {{source}} {{target}}`

      - Do not overwrite existing files at the target:

      `mv -n {{source}} {{target}}`

      - Move files in verbose mode, showing files after they are moved:

      `mv -v {{source}} {{target}}`

Is it possible for you to build and compile the package locally ? If yes, then probably we can add some logging statements in the code and try things out.

[Susensio]

I can do it if you tell me how to do it :)

I'm thinking there may be a packaging versioning problem. I've just found that "--auto-update-interval" is not working, and I think it should as I'm using 0.9.2-2.

Sure. These are the steps:

1. Clone this repo
2. Install stack: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/#how-to-install-stack
3. Go inside the repo and do stack build

Let me know if you want me to go into any of the step in more detail and I can guide you.

Hmm, that's strange too.

[Susensio]

Done. Compiled version works flawlessly. It must be some packaging problem in the oficial debian repo. Look at these outputs:

apt installed:

susensio@nuc:~/Projects/sandbox/tldr-hs/.stack-work/install/x86_64-linux-tinfo6/3885310c5e631f663e7c5936abf6a22b0e5c13850d32e97649a53c50328f29e9/9.0.2/bin (master)$ tldr -h
USAGE: tldr [options] <command>

[options]
    -l, --list:       show all available pages
    -p, --platform:   show page from specific platform rather than autodetecting
    -u, -c, --update: update, force retrieving latest copies of locally cached files
    -h, -?, --help:   this help overview

<command>
    Show examples for this command

The client caches a copy of all pages and the index locally under
/home/susensio/.config/tldr . By default, the cached copies will expire in 14 days.

apt installed tldr seems outdated, but the info seems up to date

@Susensio Yeah, that looks like it. Good debugging and thanks for the confirmation!

What do you think about closing the issue since there is nothing that can be done here ?

[Susensio]

I'll mark this as closed and talk to the package maintainers. Thanks!
