ARM: new cross-distro@ list

2011-07-18 Thread rihowa...@gmail.com 
I am forwarding this on behalf of Steve McIntyre

Hi folks,

Many GNU/Linux distributions are doing some ARM porting; this tends to
result in work duplication, and there doesn't seem to be a general
purpose forum to bring ARM porters together.

We're inviting developers of GNU/Linux distributions with an interest
in ARM to join a new "cross-distro" list, hosted at Linaro:

  http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-distro

Any ARM Linux / Free Software discussion is welcome on the list, for
instance porting software to build on ARM, toolchain problems, dealing
with new ABIs, Thumb-2, NEON, kernel problems, announcement of new
tools etc.

Cheers,
--

I found it and noted it in the BZ entry -- it is /etc/tmpfiles.d . For
example the ppp package includes this file:

$ cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/ppp.conf
d   /var/run/ppp0755 root root
d   /var/lock/ppp   0755 root root

cheers,

I would look at what Fedora 15 does here as it has /var/lock as a tmpfs so
would need to deal with creating it on boot.

Mikus points out I misdiagnosed the problem. The right dep is in place
and lockdev  installed. However, the /var/lock/lockdev dir does not
survive reboot -- because of the /etc/rwtab mechanism.

I'm not entirely sure where lockdev should tell initscripts about it -
probably /etc/rwtab.d
