Topic: [HyperbolaBSD] Feedback and issue-reports on bsdutils

Hello together,

this thread is meant to collect, discuss, test and solve issues on bsdutils in development for HyperbolaBSD and generic GNU/Linux-libre also.

Here to look out for the development:  https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/hyperb … utils.git/

Human being in favor with clear principles and so also for freedom in soft- and hardware!

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!

  • 'install' can create directories, but can't copy files into the target directory if the permission modes are set after the operation has succeeded. - Fixed in commit 64c5432

$ ./build/install/install -d /tmp/testdir
$ ./build/install/install -m 644 /tmp/testfile /tmp/testdir
install: /tmp/testfile: Success
$ ./build/ls/ls -l /tmp/testdir

  • 'nice', 'nohup', 'timeout' and 'truncate' don't work due to a 'bad system call' error. - Partially fixed in commit 709de59, b0df564 and e4a93d4

$ ./build/nice/nice -15 gimp

$ ./build/nohup/nohup badwolf

  • 'df' incorrectly prints in the filesystem and mount target path row.

$ ./build/df/df -h /dev/sda{1,2}
Filesystem     Size   Used Avail %Cap Mounted on
proc           126M    55M   71M  43% /proc
sys             21G    11G  9.0G  55% /sys
$ df -h /dev/sda{1,2}
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1       127M   55M   72M  44% /boot
/dev/sda2        22G   12G  9.0G  56% /
$

  • Also, 'id' and 'umask' are absent.
