dont see much use for this ... Every other filesystem has this command. Why not for ntfs? It is much easier when they all follow the same format. e-mail the ntfsprogs devs then and see if they'll be willing to add it to their build system ... if they go for it i'll add it to our ebuild ... betelgeuse@pena /usr/portage/sys-fs $ grep "dosym.*mkfs" -r * jfsutils/jfsutils-1.1.4.ebuild: dosym /sbin/jfs_mkfs /sbin/mkfs.jfs jfsutils/jfsutils-1.1.7.ebuild: dosym /sbin/jfs_mkfs /sbin/mkfs.jfs jfsutils/jfsutils-1.1.8.ebuild: dosym /sbin/jfs_mkfs /sbin/mkfs.jfs reiserfsprogs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.17.ebuild: dosym mkreiserfs /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs reiserfsprogs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.18.ebuild: dosym mkreiserfs /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs reiserfsprogs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.19.ebuild: dosym mkreiserfs /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs At least a couple of ebuilds to the symlinking but I will mail upstream.

This is done in the upstream cvs. I can try digging it up after I get my system running again after a recent hard drive failure. thanks, now in portage |
mkfs.ntfs is missing for ntfs. Adding the following line to then end of src_install fixes this: dosym /usr/sbin/mkntfs /usr/sbin/mkfs.ntfs --- ntfsprogs-1.11.1-r1.ebuild 2005-08-13 17:05:07.104196952 +0300 +++ ntfsprogs-1.11.1-r2.ebuild 2005-08-13 17:06:39.782107768 +0300 @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ + # Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-fs/ntfsprogs/ntfsprogs-1.11.1-r1.ebuild,v 1.1 2005/07/29 00:24:28 vapier Exp $ @@ -39,4 +40,5 @@ make DESTDIR="${D}" install || die "Install failed" dodoc AUTHORS CREDITS ChangeLog NEWS README TODO.* \ doc/attribute_definitions doc/*.txt doc/tunable_settings + dosym /usr/sbin/mkntfs /usr/sbin/mkfs.ntfs }
