Hi Jason, 2006/5/17, Jason Riedy <ejr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
And pkgsrc itself works just fine without the silly g prefix, or at least does for me as a mere user (and as well as it does work). But if you intend on adding the package upstream, it'll need something to cope with the g. And pkgsrc handles local patches...
Well I had some problems on NetBSD without the g prefix for the gnu coreutils - since then I always used that prefix. But now I have a completely different problem with the tests on solaris. It seems on solaris access() always returns 0 if a file is existant and the effective uid is 0. so: --- snip --- #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { printf ("access: %d\n", access("/etc/motd", X_OK)); return 0; } --- snap --- will return 0 on solaris - when run as root, even though /etc/motd is not executeable. This seems to break hooks on Solaris - but I'm not sure if this is only a Solaris Express bug. (I have no Solaris 10 system to verify it) bye Stefan -- http://www.dreamind.de/ Oroborus and Debian GNU/Linux Developer. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
