Re: Consolidated Bug list

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   I wrote this a long time ago for marcus but maybe someone can take
   advantage of it.  It was a consolidation of bugs noted on bug-hurd
   and savannah.

Thanks.  Some comments inlined.

   Title:  [BUG] Glibc without installed headers  
   Date: July 2002
   Submitter:  Jeff Bailey
   URL:  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-07/msg00265.html
   Status: Open
   Description:
     make install-headers no_deps=t, required for the full bootstrap, does
     fail.
     Previously all headers the Hurd installed were simple files to be copied.
     Now trivfs has some headers that are mig-generated, and you can't do mig
     generation without a proper full set of headers installed.
   Action:
     I think what we should do is have install-headers, or a differently-named
     new target, install just the plain headers and not the generated ones.
     Or it might be sufficient just to do make install-headers in the hurd
     subdir to build libc.  Try that.

   Title:  [BUG] Bug#151407: hurd: mount can't parse dselect command  
   Date: July 2002
   Submitter:  Marcus Brinkmann
   URL:  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-07/msg00001.html
   Status: Unable to reproduce [Barry]
   Description:
     mount doesn't support mixing argument options with non-argument options
     in the same dash, like this:  mount -rt fs
     which is equivalent to:       mount -r -t fs
   Action:
     Fix option parsing in mount to allow several short options with one dash.

This should be fixed by:

* mount.c (argp_opts): Enabled never-enabled options and added
long versions: --verbose/-v, --remount/--update/-u,
--writable/-w, --readonly/-r and --options/-o.  Reported by
Ben Asselstine.


   Title:  [BUG] storeio crashes with gunzip/bunzip2 classes  
   Submitter:  Ludovic Courths
   URL:  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-08/msg00078.html
   Status: Unable to reproduce [Barry]
   Description:
     Unable to set storeio translator on gunzip and bunzip2 store classes.
   Action:
     Fix it.

   Barry deFreese:
   I was unable to reproduce this problem.
   Running:

     $ settrans -ca t /hurd/storeio -T gunzip file.gz
     $ cat t

   Gives empty file for t with no errors.

Have you tried this if file.gz is something else then "touch file;gzip
file"?

   Title:  [BUG] showtrans --active  
   Date:  August 2002
   Submitter:  David Walter
   URL:  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-08/msg00194.html
   Status: Unknown [Barry]
   Description:
     Cannot determine the active translator running on an inode.
   Action:
     Determine if this is truly a bug.

showtrans doesn't have a --active option.

   Title:  [BUG] Parted seg faults
   Date:  October 2002
   Submitter:  James Morrison
   URL:  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-10/msg00036.html
   Status: Open [Barry]
   Description:
     Parted with no arguments gives segmentation fault.
   Action:
     Crashes in dlsym call. Debug and test.

I belive this is fixed in the parted CVS now.

   Should be committed but I don't see it in the ChangeLog for
   libdiskfs. - Barry

   Title:  [PATCH] dhcp client (pfinet patch)
   Date:  June 2003
   Submitter:  Marco Gerards 
   URL:  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2003-06/msg00079.html

   I tried to test this previously but it still had some bugs that
   Marco knew about.  Not sure of the current status?

Could you test the new patch by Marco?
