Hello all,

I ordered the Magnum STe PCB prototype to be produced last night :)

Also, I discovered a problem with mintlib.  If you install mintlib
cvs
(get a build from Alan's site), then rebuild the cvs rpm (rpm
--rebuild
cvs-xxxx.src.rpm), then install the newly built rpm.  If you check
out
the freemint cvs, all is well, but if you move into the freemint cvs
directory and do cvs up to update, it gives the error

root@arawork:/root/temp/freemint>cvs up
cvs update: cannot open current directory: Is a directory

I have tried new versus old kernel, gcc 2.95.3 vs 4.4.2, and other
things.  I have isolated this to be something in the mintlib
causing it.

What kernel are you running ?

Alan.


I tried with both an early 2009 kernel and trunk off your site built at
midnight today.  I'm still experimenting to ensure that mintlib is the
problem.
Are you running of an ext2 drive ?

If so, did you update the ext2 XFS from the tarball too ?

Alan.

It seems the version on your site was 20090828.  This is the mintlib
that had the issue.  The current mintlib in cvs does not.  Therefore I
think we're good to go.  But now I'm curious what the issue was.

Thanks,
Mark



The failure occurred on open(".", O_RDONLY);  If I'm not mistaken, Alan
did a lot of work on the directory open functions.  Probably can
consider this a past bug that has been long since resolved.
I suspect that your ext2.xfs was not updated.

Alan.

Definitely not the case. While I did have the ext2.xfs from a kernel of a couple days ago, the kernel from that same build paniced so I upgraded to a new kernel but not a new ext2.xfs. I just updated to a new ext2.xfs that matches today's kernel from your site and reinstalled mintlib-20090828 and then rebuild cvs and got the error. So it doesn't seem to be related to that. Plus the error originally came up with a kernel and ext2.xfs module from early 2009. If it's ext2.xfs then you should be able to put this cvs binary on your system and it should work.

Give it a shot. The problem is fixed in current mintlib so we're just discussing this for the sake of argument but it very much so appeared to be in mintlib at that point in time.

Thanks,
Mark
