Re: acct: process accounting and 2.1.96
(Please excuse me for omitting the subject line in my previous mail) Hi Austin, Incidentally, simply rebuilding the acct package against the new header files is a little tricky, since the ./configure script uses sys/acct.h in preference to linux/acct.h Did you manage to build a acct package for 2.1.96? If so, could I get it from you? Cheers, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
acct: process accounting and 2.1.96
The latest development linux kernels have a fairly substantially changed struct acct defined in acct.h. Currently: libc5: sys/acct.h just includes linux/acct.h (2.0.32 version) libc6: sys/acct.h is a new file, but it defines a structure which happens to be the same as linux/acct.h (2.0.32 version). With 2.1.xx, linux/acct.h changes incompatibly - the structure is larger, the command name comes at the end (not the start), and there are some additional fields. The question is then how do we migrate to the new format?

Remember, 2.1.xx kernels are development, not release. The question is then how do we migrate to the new format? When we migrate to the 2.2.xx kernels libc6 will migrate to new header files and will reflect the changes. Incidentally, simply rebuilding the acct package against the new header files is a little tricky, since the ./configure script uses sys/acct.h in preference to linux/acct.h The libc6 built for 2.2.xx kernels will built a compatible sys/acct.h header for your package build.
