Description

Util-Linux has been under new maintainership for some time now, under the name of Util-Linux-NG. A stable version, 2.13, is now out. See http://www.mail-archive.com/util-linux-ng%40vger.kernel.org/msg00583.html for the announcement email. The tarball is at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/v2.13. Not build or boot tested yet, but visual inspection shows that both of our patches can be dropped if this version is used.

An important thing here is that since mount depends on either e2fsprogs or udev, one of them needs to be added to Ch. 5 if we want mount early in the chroot. There's not actually any strict reason to need mount, though, since we use the host's mount to setup the chroot.

A 'new' version of Util-Linux-NG is available, 2.13.0.1, released on 22/10/2007

Judging by the release notes, the only change is a fix for proper privilege dropping when making {,u}mount calls

Just a note that anybody using nfs will need a recent nfs-utils (1.1.0 or newer).
