Bug 60672 – sysfsutils-1.1.0 is out (but needs a little patching)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Holger Hoffstätte 2004-08-17 07:45:44 UTC]

I wanted to emerge lsscsi (http://www.torque.net/scsi/lsscsi.html) and saw that 0.14 is out, so I wrote my own ebuild for that. Turns out that lsscsi as of late requires a CVS-updated version of sysfsutils and hence should have an according DEPENDS entry.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. write new ebuild for lsscsi 0.14
2. watch it don't link (missing symbol dlist_sort_custom)
3. fix sysfsutils with sources from CVS
4. proceed with lsscsi :)

Actual Results:  
lsscsi 0.14 emerges cleanly without warnings and works correctly on my 2.6.8.1
kernel with FireWire drives.

fixed ebuild+files for sysfsutils-1.1.0

[Comment 2 Holger Hoffstätte 2004-08-17 07:56:57 UTC]

An additional note for the added files: the ebuild doesn't apply patches but rather just replaces the files in the source tree with their fixed versions. Hope that's OK.

Please post all the files individually as plain text attachments. Also I think it would be better to apply the fix as a patch, plus we should check out the differences between the two versions before replacing entire files.

Sorry for the previous attachment, I'm new to ebuilding. The new version of the ebuild uses patches.

greg: you can handle the sysfs stuff ?  historically azarah took care of it, but i think you're the next guy who knows most about this

[Comment 10 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2004-10-08 15:32:18 UTC]

Sure, I'll take this over.  Be able to get to it in monday.

[Comment 11 Holger Hoffstätte 2004-10-09 02:40:16 UTC]

As if by magic ;) I just noticed that sysfsutils-1.2 is "stable" and does not require any more patches, so that's probably the version that should go in.

ebuild for 1.2.0 that does not need any more patches

builds cleanly for me; lsscsi still works, too (as far as I can test)

[Comment 13 Georg Müller 2004-10-19 01:17:08 UTC]

1.2.0 works fine for me :)

[Comment 14 Dominik Brodowski 2004-10-29 03:16:38 UTC]

I'd like to have sysfsutils-1.2.0 available for cpufrequtils (see bug 69320 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69320 ) available as it is supposed to fix some bugs to be found in sysfsutils-1.0.0.

[Comment 15 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2004-11-08 14:31:52 UTC]

1.2.0 is released.
