Subject: [PATCH] fix unportability in gen_initramfs_list.sh
Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:50:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47F380FD.6010605@openwrt.org> (raw)

On a Mac OS X machine the output of ls -l is different from a standard 
Linux machine. Use readlink instead of parsing a hardcoded field number 
from the ls output.
