Bug Description
Version: byobu v3.29
Platform: Mac OS X 10.6.6; byobu installed using homebrew
Behavour: When starting byobu this message flashes in the terminal before the screen is cleared:
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
In v3.29 byobu-janitor was changed to use readlink -f. OS X has BSD readlink where the option -f is not supported.
Coreutils provides a GNU compatible flavour with greadlink, but would add additional dependencies.
Here's some discussion:
