Ole,

It has been my intention to review and add these, but unfortunately I've been unable to do so until now.

Thus spake Ole Holm Nielsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I note that SystemImager 3.2.2 is now available at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=259

We're sorely missing the dosfstools-2.8 patches, which are
required for SystemImager to build on Redhat (RHEL 3.0) systems,
as I proposed in a posting to this list in March,
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4093988&forum_id=10334
It's rather painful to have to add these patches by hand
for every new release of SystemImager.

Wouldn't it be a simple matter to add the 3 Redhat patches
dosfstools-2.8-autofat32.patch, dosfstools-2.8-endian.patch,
dosfstools-2.8-loopsize.patch to dosfstools as I proposed ?
Would it break any other Linux distributions ?

I don't expect it to, and I've committed them to the development branch. Expect a fairly stable development release soon (3.3). It will include these patches, as well as pre-script and post-script support.

If we have success with these patches here, we can put them into the
stable release too.  I don't anticipate any issues with them, but I try
to be conservative with changes to the stable branch.

Also, the RPM systemimager.spec file needs to be changed
to track the SystemImager version numbers...

This tends to be something that we change when we go to create the RPMs.


If you percieve this as a big issue, let us know.

Oh yeah, and thanks for providing the info on the patches.

Cheers!

-Brian
