E2fsprogs 1.04 (May 16, 1996)
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
First "official" (1.03 was a limited release only) to support building
|
|
e2fsprogs under Linux 2.0 kernels (as well as late model 1.3 and 1.99
|
|
kernels).
|
|
|
|
This package includes a RPM specs file, that it can be built using the
|
|
RedHat Package Manager.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints a hint that if there are lots of incorrectly located
|
|
inode bitmaps, block bitmaps, and inode table blocks, the user might
|
|
want to try using e2fsck -b 8193 first, to see if that fares any
|
|
better.
|
|
|
|
For ext2 filesystem written with the hurd, debugfs will now print out
|
|
the translator field when printing an inode structure.
|
|
|
|
Lots of miscellaneous linking/installation cleanups:
|
|
|
|
Libraries are now linked using a relative pathname, instead of
|
|
relying on -L working correct. It doesn't, in many cases, including
|
|
current versions of GNU ld. This guarantees that the build tree is
|
|
linking with the right libraries, instead of the ones installed in
|
|
/usr/lib.
|
|
|
|
Header files, man pages, and the et/ss shell scripts are now
|
|
generated using a custom substitution script, instead of relying on
|
|
the configure script. This prevents needless recompilation of
|
|
files; in addition, the custom substitution script is much faster.
|
|
|
|
e2fsck may now be linked dynamically, by using the
|
|
--enable-dynamic-e2fsck flag to configure. This is not recommended,
|
|
since it increases e2fsck's dependence on other files, but some
|
|
people need to save disk space, and other critical programs on their
|
|
systems were being linked dynamically anyway.
|
|
|
|
Programs such as fsck which didn't need to be linked against
|
|
libext2fs (or mke2fs which didn't need to be linked against libe2p)
|
|
only link against libraries they actually need. Otherwise, those
|
|
programs would require the presence of libraries that otherwise
|
|
could be removed from a rescue diskette.
|
|
|
|
The ss include files are now installed correctly so they can
|
|
actually be used by another package.
|
|
|
|
If the profiling libraries are built, they are now installed on a
|
|
"make install-libs".
