I'm sending a patch from Launchpad, which fixes bug in coreutils.
TEST CASE:
Use command 'uname -i' or uname -p'
Launchpad bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/470550
Patch is able to use on coreutils 8.5.
We look forward to your response.
Thanks for your work. But as pointed out in that launchpad discussion:
This has been discussed upstream; see:
* http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-09/msg00053.html for a
more discussed thread, or
* http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-04/msg00089.html for a
to-the-point one.
There are other hits, BTW.
Summary, as far as I can understand: coreutils will not provide 'uname -p -i'
on Linux platforms since the 'sysinfo()' call does not support it, and /proc is
er, considered too Linux-specific.
I would tend to mark this one INVALID
I still think you are better off investing effort in improving the Linux
kernel uname() or sysinfo() syscalls to provide the information natively
than you are to try and parse /proc/cpuinfo on the fly.
