hi Meanie, are your patches good for sl-c860?

hi Meanie, are your patches good for sl-c860?

it should work, but untested due to lack of said device...

They've worked ok for me so far, except for the issues that Meanie's fixed already. Back up first & the n see how it goes. That's waht I've done.

So you have R197 + sp3 running? Just to be sure before flashing ...

Correct. The only issues for me right now is restoring my custom fstab & .Xdefaults after installing. So unless you've touched any of the config files in the package, you should be ok.

Here's a listing without the binary's that are updated:

Oh, and Meanie. Could I ask a favour & get you to correct the permissions of the directories in the package, specifically /etc, /etc/rc.d, /etc/rc.d/init.d & /etc/X11 (just the ones I can remember off the top of my head). 99% of my work on the Z is in a terminal as a non-root user using sudo & I keep having to reset these dirs back from 700 to 755 after I install the sp. thks

done. file permissions fixed. also added sltime...

Not quite. The directories need execute permissions as well. Currently:

CODE

drwxr--r-- root/root         0 2007-05-24 16:34:42 ./etc/hotplug/
drwxr--r-- root/root         0 2007-05-28 07:26:37 ./etc/rc.d/
drwxr--r-- root/root         0 2007-05-24 16:34:42 ./etc/X11/
drwxr--r-- root/root         0 2007-05-24 20:36:33 ./etc/X11/kb/
drwxr--r-- root/root         0 2007-05-25 14:26:46 ./etc/X11/kb/Akita/

As well, 'fraid I have to report a problem with the sp's for corgi's. The xpdf binary isn't compatible, crashing with an 'Illegal instruction' error. It took me a while to notice this 'cause I don't use it that often. I checked out most of the other binary's that are included in the sp & haven't found any issues with any of those.

thanks for letting me know. seems like umask is set too restrictively in the new release.
i will need to recompile xpdf since it was compiled with optimizations for the newer clamshell devices..

the choice now is to have a separete sp pack for 7x0/8x0 , or have an unoptimised (no xscale or iwmmxt) binary for all.

If I had my choice, I would go with a seperate service pack for the 7x0/860 since I'd hate to loose any CXXXX optimizations.

I'm using pdaXii13, but for what its worth it seems to me that one of the advantages of pdaX generally is optimization.
