This is what I understood. That mainline code moved so far that the current
UML driver was too far behind to properly function and *completely* broke.
If only breakage with new UM-TTY code is old util-linux. And we have a
ready made patch for it.
Would you please reconsider, and point the util-linux users to the fixing
patch.
Because as it stands:
Current code:
util-linux - works
FC12-17 - Broken (Patch *not* available)
Debain based - works
New code:
util-linux - Broken, patch available
FC12-15 - Works (with issues)
Debain based - works
So it is not like I'm sacrificing util-linux People
completely, but I am totally sacrificing FC People by
not committing.
Please reconsider, unless you have a patch for me for FC systems
that I can apply so I can use the old code.
Thanks again for everything, so far
Boaz
