[Owfs-developers] New Release 2.9p9

2015-01-06 Thread Paul Alfille
Minor improvement -- basically fixes the owfs problem for Markus Gaugusch's report: "cat: temperature: Message too long" The problem is that some tools (like cat) ask for an arbitrary (but large) read to gather all the data. It used to be 64K but now seems to be 128K which passes some internal li

2015-01-06 Thread Stefano Miccoli
The question was how to completely delete the packaged owfs: and this deletes also init.d scripts. I do not know if there is a “canonical way” to handle this situation, but when installing from source I prefer to completely delete the packaged sw (i.e. apt-get purge) and start from scratch. It
