From: Jan Nieuwenhuizen <jann...@gnu.org> Hi!
Several variants of these patches were present on wip-hurd-vm before. Currently, we are running MAKEDEV from activation, and thus need hurd, bash, coreutils and sed in PATH. The first patch replaces that with scheme code, which seems a no-brainer to me. Then we only need hurd in PATH for settrans and gettrans. The second patch then switches to using setxattr instead of settrans; alas we still need gettrans as getxattr behaves "funny" on translated nodes. I suppose that would be a question for the bug-hurd? Greetings, Janneke Jan (janneke) Nieuwenhuizen (2): hurd-boot: Create individual translators instead of running MAKEDEV. hurd-boot: Use 'setxattr' instead of invoking settrans. gnu/build/hurd-boot.scm | 172 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- gnu/system.scm | 1 + 2 files changed, 126 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <jann...@gnu.org> | GNU LilyPond http://lilypond.org Freelance IT http://JoyofSource.com | Avatar® http://AvatarAcademy.com
