As newer kernels emulates binary interface we probably do not want to support obsolete interfaces, right? http://lwn.net/Articles/361001/ Kernel help says: | CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL: | | | | sys_sysctl uses binary paths that have been found challenging | | to properly maintain and use. The interface in /proc/sys | | using paths with ascii names is now the primary path to this | | information. | | | | Almost nothing using the binary sysctl interface so if you are | | trying to save some space it is probably safe to disable this, | | making your kernel marginally smaller. ... and your system will get even smaller without sysctl binary. Btw, 'sysctl' branch was merged 24 Dec 2009. Some people can really enjoy Christmas ;-) ladis > > --- > > generic/etc/sysctl.conf | 4 ++++ > > rules/procps.make | 2 ++ > > 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > create mode 100644 generic/etc/sysctl.conf > > > > diff --git a/generic/etc/sysctl.conf b/generic/etc/sysctl.conf > > new file mode 100644 > > index 0000000..b10c21d > > --- /dev/null > > +++ b/generic/etc/sysctl.conf > > @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ > > +# > > +# /etc/sysctl.conf - Configuration file for setting system variables > > +# See sysctl.conf (5) for information. > > +# > > diff --git a/rules/procps.make b/rules/procps.make > > index 57f8fdb..403714b 100644 > > --- a/rules/procps.make > > +++ b/rules/procps.make > > @@ -90,6 +90,8 @@ endif > > ifdef PTXCONF_PROCPS_SYSCTL > > @$(call install_copy, procps, 0, 0, 0755, -, \ > > /sbin/sysctl) > > + > > + @$(call install_alternative, procps, 0, 0, 0644, /etc/sysctl.conf, n) > > endif > > ifdef PTXCONF_PROCPS_PS > > @$(call install_copy, procps, 0, 0, 0755, -, \ -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
