Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.8-11
Severity: important
Since I have not got any feedback on
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648061#65
I am still not sure if this difference is intended or just an omission.
sysctl is shipped under /sbin on Linux-based installations but for some reason
under /bin on kfreebsd. That now requires every package relying on sysctl to
become kernel-aware, e.g. patching python2.7 source to use /bin/sysctl in few
places.
procps's debian/rules seems to explicitly remove it from /sbin/:
ifneq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS), linux)
rm -f \
$(DEBROOT)/usr/bin/slabtop \
$(DEBROOT)/usr/share/man/man1/slabtop.1 \
$(DEBROOT)/sbin/sysctl \
$(DEBROOT)/usr/share/man/man8/sysctl.8 \
$(DEBROOT)/usr/share/man/man5/sysctl.conf.5 \
$(NULL)
endif
is there any specific reason or could it be shipped under /sbin/ ?
Please advise.
If it could be shipped under /sbin/ then 648061 should be force-merged into
this one. If not -- wontfix tag I guess and remain in the chronicles, while I
would NMU the patch for #648061.
Cheers,
