The dynamic linker /lib/ld-linux.so will automatically pick up the correct version using the information provided by the kernel. FWIW, this is the approach I've sucessfully implemented in libavcodec. Does anyone know if this works on kFreeBSD as well and cares to submit a patch for ffmpeg? Especially for avcodec, this makes a significant difference in nearly every media player application. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes, exactly, like that :-) For some strange reason, that automatic forward from 2009 didn't happen apparently in my ldap setup, or maybe I disabled it afterwards, I don't know. Anyway, I've set my email forward yesterday. I just hope that nobody loses email because of lack of action. Sorry for the noise.

I could not find this fusebsd package in Debian :( However, a related project indeed exists [1]. As the original poster of that question on debian-mentors, I would like to ask anyone who has access to a Debian/kFreeBSD installation to test if fuse-convmvfs from sid works there (provided that fuse4bsd is installed). My package builds on that architecture just fine, but unfortunately I cannot test myself if it works there. > This just sounds plain wrong, and IMHO, libfuse itself should do the > depend, though arguably, some libfuse rdepends don't need them. Well, if that would be possible I would simply prefer to add a dependence to my package and forget about it for a while.

It consumes less resources than "real virtualisation" but provides better networking isolation than simple chroots. You would need a kernel with vserver support (Debian provides some for lenny and squeeze), util-vserver and vserver-debiantools. The commands newvserver and vserver are sufficient to begin.

Just install it yourself in virtualbox (slow, always works) or kvm (requires hardware support). I just lost several hours today trying, so here's a list of pitfalls: * You need to change the virtual network card. VirtualBox's default, "PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)", is recognized by kfreebsd but doesn't see the network. "PCnet-PCI II (Am79C970A)" works fine. * You need a particular d-i build: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/kfreebsd-i386/20100221-11:20/monolithic/ (I assume -amd64 works too). Current d-i dailies are broken (the partitioner fails, even with a pre-partitioned disk, not letting you assign mount points). Don't use the sysinstall images either (they install but filesystem operations randomly fail). Rumours that d-i builds 20100306 or 20100223 are ok are untrue as well (won't even boot past the splash screen). -- 1KB // Microsoft corollary to Hanlon's razor: // Never attribute to stupidity what can be // adequately explained by malice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
