Bug 253283 – app-misc/uptimed-0.3.13 - uprecords option conflict

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Relson 2008-12-31 18:34:43 UTC]

Using options "-B" (sort by boot time), "-m <count>" (display max count), and "-f" (loop continuously) displays the wrong number of events after the first time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run "uprecords -a -m 15 -f -B"

Actual Results:  
First loop, 15 uptimes are displayed.  After that, only 8 are displayed.

Expected Results:  
Expected 15 times to be displayed on every loop.

As a test, after statement:
 	for ( u=sort_urec(urec_list, sort_by) ; u ; u=u->next )
I added:
		printf("%s:%d - u: 0x%08X\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, u);

It seems that, on the second and subsequent "-f" loops, "u" is null after 8 iterations in the for loop.

This looks like an upstream problem as their are no Gentoo patch files for this ebuild.  Maybe come up with a patch, and send it to the maintainer?  I recommend this bug be marked upstream problem in the mean time.

Let the maintainer decide about right status for this bug.

Reassigning to maintainer.

Talk with upstream, please
