            Bug ID: 12601
           Summary: [feature request] support "newerXY" construct from
                    findutils
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: cslycord at gmail.com
                CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
  Target Milestone: ---

Busybox has support for the "-newer" construct, which checks if a file's
modification time is newer than another file's.

In findutils there's a "-newerXY" construct, with X and Y can be 'a' (last
access), 'B' Birth time, 'c' (last change time), 'm' (last modification time),
or t (timestamp); t being only the final argument and being for a literal
timestamp. It's used as "-newerXY FILE" or "-newXt timestamp".

In gentoo, they regularly use this construct. For example, their package
manager defaults to checking "-newercm FILE" (change and modification).

Similar functionality would be a welcome addition.
