| Summary | 0000966: [PARTIAL PATCH] Add support for dump/restore | |||||||||||
| Description | The EXT2/3 file system backup utilities, dump & restore, can be made to successfully compile against | |||||||||||
| Additional Information |
To get dump to compile, as mentioned, one must `touch` the fstab.h. This should probably be done in the program directory, or a patch made against dump that removes the appropriate #include (or maybe a call to `grep -v`?) It also requires the libraries to e2fsprogs to link against. The existing e2fsprogs package does not install these libraries to the staging directory, making them unavailable to the linker. This package can be made to make use of the `readline` library, and the scripts assume it has been selected, but I'm not sure how one forces selection in Buildroot's build system. Attached, is my patch that makes some of the above happen. I have successfully tested the userland built for a mipsel machine, using the compiled version of `restore` to unpack a backed-up copy of my Qube2's userland from a `dump` archive. I'll likely be using this build in my next netboot image for the Gentoo Linux/MIPS port to the Cobalt server. I lurk in #gentoo-mips and numerous other places if people have any questions. :-) |

Almost forgot the Config.in and dump.mk files. ;-) Naturally, these go in the packages/dump/ directory. |
