My reaction: :) :) * "Wait, did he rename the C source files too? Like src/execline/=.c, src/execline/;.c, etc.?" I tried. Really, I tried. The filesystem didn't have any problem with that, nor did shell scripts, provided the appropriate amount of quoting was given; but *make* choked.

Small documentation error in s6-rc

2018-04-02 Thread Guillermo
Hello, The documentation of the s6-rc-compile program has a small mistake in the description of its -b option. It says: "make s6-rc-oneshot-runner invocations wait instead of fail on lock contention." It mentions s6-rc-oneshot-runner, the supporting service autogenerated by s6-rc-compile, instea
