I'm going to use util-linux-ng in Fedora 8 and Fedora Feature Freeze is on 27 August. Next week I'd like to test basic functionality with more architectures and distributions. > util-linux-amd64.patch Seems good.

Does anyone have a better knowledge about this? > util-linux-fdisk.patch No clue, but it seems too paranoid.

There is updwtmp(3) in glibc2, so we needn't PATH_WTMPLOCK for standard linux distributions. Unfortunately, the login-utils/simpleinit.c doesn't use updwtmp(3)... added to my TODO list.

Hmm.. util-linux hwclock is standardly distributed for ppc and I have never seen any bug report. # hwclock Wed 04 Jul 2007 01:47:53 PM CEST -0.348615 seconds # uname -a Linux ppc02.englab.brq.redhat.com 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 14:19:36 EST 2007 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux The clock-ppc.c file is already in util-linux sources, but we don't compile this file.
