Yes I should and have > fixed the cast from int to time_t. Isn't the cast implied by assignment and done automatically? Isn't that why the previous mismatch with the (int) cast worked? In the next line of code we assign a double to tv_usec which is a mismatch also. I built your latest branch with and without the cast and the results were binary identical. 8< ------- > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > The following changes since commit 89958178f6d6ebe0944d423feaea66be521fff43: > If mtab support is disabled, disable ro/rw mtab checks (2017-01-10 17:32:32 +0100) > are available in the git repository at: > git://github.com/kerolasa/lelux-utiliteetit.git hwclock-jwp-reviewed > for you to fetch changes up to d3e33557e6794446c712ca264e54fe4b186a17ca: > hwclock: remove --compare option (2017-01-11 21:04:36 +0000) > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Thank you JWP for reviews, I hope I did not miss anything but if I did let > me know and I will follow up.

I've been testing your latest branch and haven't found any problems. I cannot test all of your changes though, for example I don't have libaudit installed. For what it's worth, I think it is ready. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
