gmane works great, it's the only way I read this list (and several
others). :-)
btw, thanks for the mails... I just built coreutils on Darwin also, and
had a good number of 'make check' failures.
I am also noticing that
after making coreutils (and some other packages, I think bash was one),
to remove the directory, I have to 'rm -rf coreutils-5.97' as many as
four times before it fully goes away. Odd that just doing it several
times in succession works, though.
Now, *that* is interesting.
Would you please see if you can reproduce that using an rm binary
built from coreutils-6.2? I couldn't, when using an hfs partition
on Darwin 8.7.0. The core of rm was seriously revamped between
coreutils-5.97 and 6.0.
I plan to, as soon as I get a chance. FYI this was on an NFS mount so
there might be some weird interaction with the NFS driver... although
I've built coreutils 5.97 on almost a dozen platforms and Darwin (both
x86 and PowerPC as I recall) is the only OS that's given me problems.
I also saved the 'make check' output to take a look at, but I will
probably roll a 6.2 before I take a serious look at that sort of thing
(no need to chase down bugs that are already fixed, after all :-)).
