Re: [Toybox] [CLEANUP] makedevs
In the absence of a response to wednesday's request for makedevs tests, I just used: # #bcdfp /blah d 755 0 500 /blah/block b 600 0 0 /blah/char c 666 500 500 1 5 3 2 4 /blah/pipe p 777 500 0 Under aboriginal linux, and fixed up the bugs I saw doing that. Seems to work for me, so I promoted it to other. I still don't understand the point of "f". I think it's for people who don't know how to use the cpio, genext2fs, or squashfs creation tools to create files with arbitrary permissions as a non-root user on the build host? (Aboriginal Linux does all three correctly, last I checked. Oh well.) Rob ___ Toybox mailing list Toybox@lists.landley.net http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net

Yeah, that's what I thought, but it's been long enough since _I've_ used modems that I'm a bit fuzzy. I think I'll yank it and be ready to accept a patch/request putting it back that comes with an explanation of why it's necessary.

Do the fixes that went in for these address your issues? (Commit 1360 should fix the which segfault, and 1361 should fix the musl build break in getty.)
