gmane works great, it's the only way I read this list (and several
others). :-)
btw, thanks for the mails... I just built coreutils on Darwin also,
and had a good number of 'make check' failures. I am also noticing
that after making coreutils (and some other packages, I think bash
was one), to remove the directory, I have to
'rm -rf coreutils-5.97' as many as four times before it fully goes
away. Odd that just doing it several times in succession works,
though.
Now, *that* is interesting.
Would you please see if you can reproduce that using an rm binary
built from coreutils-6.2? I couldn't, when using an hfs partition
on Darwin 8.7.0. The core of rm was seriously revamped between
coreutils-5.97 and 6.0.
I plan to, as soon as I get a chance. FYI this was on an NFS mount so
there might be some weird interaction with the NFS driver... although
I've built coreutils 5.97 on almost a dozen platforms and Darwin (both
x86 and PowerPC as I recall) is the only OS that's given me problems.
I was unable to reproduce that. Tried both NFS and hfs.
If you can, please give details asap. I expect to release
coreutils-6.3 very soon.
It'd be particularly useful to know how many files it removes
at each iteration.
Did you try with 5.97? I haven't tried 6.2 yet (will try to do that
soon)...
Ok, I just tried with the "latest" version you sent me (post-6.2,
will-be-6.3 for the rest of the list) with the same results.
I'm working on building test output (including verbose) for the entire
suite for Darwin PowerPC (the same machine I did the last test on).
