Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-56 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: origin-ubuntu intrepid ubuntu-patch
Hi! Attached patch provides support for the Cell processor's SPU virtual kernel file system [1]. This is e. g. found on the Sony PlayStation 3. Thanks for considering, Martin [1] http://www.research.ibm.com/cell/SPU.html -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
* Support Cell processor:
- debian/initscripts/postinst: Create spu system group and /spu mount
point if we are running on a Cell processor.
- debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh: Mount spufs if Cell
processor is detected.
- debian/control: Add initscripts dependency 'passwd' for groupadd.
