#2196: Error in hdparm instructions
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: buo | Owner: [email protected]
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: high | Milestone: 6.2.0
Component: BOOK | Version: SVN
Severity: major | Keywords: hdparm
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
The hdparm instructions in the current svn book have an interesting bug,
which causes a silent failure. See the output of the make install
command:
{{{
$ make -n binprefix=/usr install
if [ ! -z ]; then install -m 755 -d ; fi
if [ ! -z /usrsbin ]; then install -m 755 -d /usrsbin ; fi
if [ ! -z /usr/share/man ]; then install -m 755 -d /usr/share/man ; fi
if [ ! -z /usr/share/man/man8/ ]; then install -m 755 -d
/usr/share/man/man8/ ; fi
if [ -f /usrsbin/hdparm ]; then rm -f /usrsbin/hdparm ; fi
if [ -f /usr/share/man/man8/hdparm.8 ]; then rm -f
/usr/share/man/man8/hdparm.8 ;\
elif [ -f /usr/man/man8/hdparm.8 ]; then rm -f /usr/man/man8/hdparm.8 ;
fi
install -D hdparm /usrsbin/hdparm
if [ -d /usr/share/man ]; then install -m 644 -D hdparm.8
/usr/share/man/man8/hdparm.8 ;\
elif [ -d /usr/man ]; then install -m 644 -D hdparm.8
/usr/man/man8/hdparm.8 ; fi
}}}
Note the /usrsbin directories.
This can be fixed by changing the command to include an extra / after
/usr:
{{{
$ make -n binprefix=/usr/ install
if [ ! -z ]; then install -m 755 -d ; fi
if [ ! -z ]; then install -m 755 -d ; fi
if [ ! -z /usr/sbin ]; then install -m 755 -d /usr/sbin ; fi
if [ ! -z /usr/share/man ]; then install -m 755 -d /usr/share/man ; fi
if [ ! -z /usr/share/man/man8/ ]; then install -m 755 -d
/usr/share/man/man8/ ; fi
if [ -f /usr/sbin/hdparm ]; then rm -f /usr/sbin/hdparm ; fi
if [ -f /usr/share/man/man8/hdparm.8 ]; then rm -f
/usr/share/man/man8/hdparm.8 ;\
elif [ -f /usr/man/man8/hdparm.8 ]; then rm -f /usr/man/man8/hdparm.8 ;
fi
install -D hdparm /usr/sbin/hdparm
if [ -d /usr/share/man ]; then install -m 644 -D hdparm.8
/usr/share/man/man8/hdparm.8 ;\
elif [ -d /usr/man ]; then install -m 644 -D hdparm.8
/usr/man/man8/hdparm.8 ; fi
}}}
I guess this is an error with hdparm's install system, but it's easy to
fix in the book.
