Hi Brian, >>>>> This patch-set has been applied upstream. >>>> >>>> There is something wrong with Makefile.mesh >>> >>> This was tested by us on Fedora 27 and 28, without issues. >>> >>> What build platform produced these errors? >> >> start adding Fedora 29 to your test platform. However this has nothing to do with Fedora 29, the whole idea of just commenting something out and committing it is just not something we do. Actually it is something that should never be done if you are operating with git. Use your personal trees for testing. >> >>> Since Marcel is backing out the entire patchset, we will create a v4 patchset that removes btmesh (the non-daemon executable) entirely.

Please stop using daemon() and try to fork yourself as a daemon. Leave this to system to someone else. Just start the process and enter the mainloop. The only difference should be where the log messages go. And with systemd even you do stderr, then it will be logged into journald as well. If you are in doubt, look at more recent projects like iwd on how things are done there. Regards Marcel
