The Testing Area :: June Extensions

The new updated versions have been posted.

Wasn't sure where to post this.

gnu-utils.unc fails miserably under dsl-n rc2. When you load it, you get not found messages any time you type commands like grep or cat. Also, it adds some strange non-existant directory to the path: /home/dsl/.dist/somthing I forgot exactly what something is, but .dist is not there.

Also, you can't unload it. If you try, it just loads again. It screws up the /opt directory. It deletes every directory that was there, and now the utils that should be in /bin are in /opt. I think loading it twice is required to do that. My system would not shut down after loading this. shut down probably required some basic utils that are no longer available after loading this extension.

I haven't tried it under dsl 3.0x, but I assume if there were problems this bad, somebody would have said something.

I also tried samba.unc with dsl-n rc2. It works fine.

I would be most cautious trying to use system type extensions across very different systems, a 2.4.26 versus a 2.6.12. I wouldn't expect them to work. Also, those non system/module specific based extensions that do work across dsl/dsl-n are available in a separate repository for dsl-n and should be discussed in the feedback section of fhe dsl-n forums.
