Could you consider excluding the ts binary from compilation? This would resolve the file >conflict with the moreutils package, which already provides an identical ts command.

Fixed in version 0.14-3

Could you consider excluding the ts binary from compilation? This would resolve the file conflict with the moreutils package, which already provides an identical ts command.

According to the OpenBSD manual, their ts implementation is a scratch rewrite that maintains almost identical functionality to the moreutils version (it just lacks the -r option). Since both utilities serve the same purpose, compiling the OpenBSD version creates an unnecessary conflict.

Skipping this binary would be preferable to renaming it, as users expect consistent command names across systems.
