bug#11184: [lfs-dev] uname -i, -p show 'unknown' after update to coreutils-8.16

2012-04-05 Thread Matthew Burgess
That's because we (LFS) dropped the uname patch from our build instructions because upstream won't take it in its current form. If my understanding is correct, the correct way of implementing this feature is by a combination of changes in the kernel & Glibc. I don't have the skill necessary to do

Hi Jim, I get a 403 Forbidden error trying to download the latest ss tarballs from both meyering.net & people.redhat.com. What timescales did you envisage for the 8.2 release? I'll try to run through an LFS build with it prior to the release so I can report any issues I see *before* one of

stty & stty-row-col test failures

2009-12-06 Thread Matthew Burgess
Hi, The stty & stty-row-col tests fail for me, but I can't figure out why. I wonder whether it's because I'm in a VirtualBox host and it's somehow interfering with the tests? Anyway, I've attached the logs from a verbose run of both tests. If someone wouldn't mind taking a look for me pleas

Hi, I've attached the testsuite log for the 1 failure I see in Coreutils-7.1's test run. Looking back at my Coreutils-6.12 logs, the stty-row-col test was skipped in that version. Any hints or tips as to how to investigate this further would be much appreciated. Thanks, Matt. coreutils-7.1-st

Hi folks. Firstly, the good news :-) The new experimental 6.1 release builds and completes the testsuite fine on a recent Linux system (linux-2.6.17.8, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.3.6). Now for the nitty gritty! There are instructions for building Coreutils at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/vi
