Hi,
Hello,
i suggest to replace util-linux in favour for [1]util-linux-ng. Util-linux is unmaintained since years.
Thanks for your sugesstion. I moved this thread to crux-devel for further discussion. The last update of util-linux was in march 06, so it's only 1.5 years. Anyway, I'd second the move to util-linux-ng. Please test the attached port. If there are no objections we should do the change with the 2.4-rc1 next week. regards Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

Your port works for me, though I didn't test *all* of the included programs. Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

I second the move as well and the port works fine for me so far. Matt -- Matt Housh (jaeger@freenode/#crux)

ACK. Works on powerpc with just: =======> ERROR: Footprint mismatch found: MISSING lrwxrwxrwx root/root usr/bin/i386 -> setarch NEW lrwxrwxrwx root/root usr/bin/ppc -> setarch NEW lrwxrwxrwx root/root usr/bin/ppc32 -> setarch NEW lrwxrwxrwx root/root usr/bin/ppc64 -> setarch MISSING -rw-r--r-- root/root usr/man/man8/ramsize.8.gz MISSING -rw-r--r-- root/root usr/man/man8/rdev.8.gz MISSING -rw-r--r-- root/root usr/man/man8/rootflags.8.gz MISSING -rw-r--r-- root/root usr/man/man8/vidmode.8.gz MISSING lrwxrwxrwx root/root usr/sbin/ramsize -> rdev MISSING -rwxr-xr-x root/root usr/sbin/rdev MISSING lrwxrwxrwx root/root usr/sbin/rootflags -> rdev MISSING lrwxrwxrwx root/root usr/sbin/vidmode -> rdev $setarch ppc32 doesn't change uname output as mentioned in the man-page, but I don't know where I could need that tool anyway. The included hwclock seems to be quite old and has a slightly different syntax in contrast to Bryan Henderson's hwclock-2.31. i.e.: --rtc /dev/rtc0 versus --rtc=/dev/rtc0 but that's also a minor issue. Let's go with util-linux-ng. :-) Regards, -- Clemens Koller __________________________________ R&D Imaging Devices Anagramm GmbH Rupert-Mayer-Straße 45/1 Linhof Werksgelände D-81379 München Tel.089-741518-50 Fax 089-741518-19 http://www.anagramm-technology.com
