Hi
I'm right now compiling updated RedHat errata kernel-2.4.9-31 with XFS
support which is then kernel-2.4.9-31SGI_XFS_1.0.2. You'll find the
packages again on oss in the a contrib dir when Eric permits.
Now I have two questions:
1) After downloading the original RedHat RPMS I found out that both 7.1
and 7.2 packages are exactly the same. So I decided to do the same and I
decided to compile on RedHat 7.2 since 7.1 and 7.2 are almost the same
but 7.2 has some newer version of compilers and libs and I thought it's
a good thing to compile on 7.2.
Is it good to compile 7.1 and 7.2 on 7.2 or am I missing something?
XFree86 updates are available which means that both 7.1 and 7.2 now have
XFree86 4.1.0
This gets rid of the different DRI versions that would otherwise be neccesary.
2) The jumbo xfs patch linux-2.4.9-RH7.2-xfs.patch.bz2 had two rejects
in fs.h. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer so I'm kindly asking for
advice whether I have correctly fixed the thing. Those two lines are new
in 2.4.9-31
I don't see anything wrong with that. Seems logical.
Cheers

Every program has two purposes one for which
it was written and another for which it wasn't
I use the last kind.
