/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/if{down,up} use /bin/sh but contain `source' commands. All of the bootscripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d correctly use /bin/bash but this seems to have slipped through.

Hi!

I had problems with xfsdump program and I had chat with XFS kernel maintainer Nathan Scott. On page blfs-book-cvs-html-2004-01-28/postlfs/xfsfs.html there is these instructions:

"Install XFS by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install"

This is not correct. One must not use ./configure with xfsprogs. Make and make install is enough.

Here is copy of relevant messages:

Hi!

I am sorry to bother you again.

Yes, that was a typo in the error message - fixed in more recent versions of xfsdump. "make install-dev" is the correct target, iirc.

Ok, I did "make install-dev" from xfsprogs-2.6.3 directory, but xfsdump still can not find /usr/libexec/libxfs.a file.

[root /usr/src/xfs/xfsdump-2.2.16]# ./configure --prefix=/usr

Don't do that, just type "make" - it will use a sane set of configure options by default (specifying just one like you have there causes lots of other configure-defaults to be used, which are not necessarily what you want).

cheers.

Ok, I installed xfsprogs in same way and that makes this work, great! Thank you!

Good to hear.

I need to write notice to Beyond Linux From Scratch[1] people, because ... Install XFS by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install ... May I forward your previous message to their bugzilla[2]?

Please do - they should just drop that first "configure" step in their recipe.

thanks.

Most packages have their official download location pointing directly to the package location dir (e.g. GNU packages), but a few offer a indirect location. The 1st attached patch fixes download URLs for grub, inetutils, perl and sysklogd.

Additionally, e2fsprogs and psmisc are the only packages which offer two alternative download locations, both on the same domain (sf.net). For consistency with all other packages, the 2nd attached patched removes one of the download locations for these two packages.
