[request] e2fsprogs with ext4dev support

Robertek · 2007-06-02 09:47:34

It would be nice to submit e2fsprogs with ext4dev, I have just compiled that manualy, but someone can make it in little bit more professional way.
(Im new to archlinux)

replace /var/abs/base/e2fsprogs/PKGBUILD with

pkgname=e2fsprogs
pkgver=1.40
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Ext2 filesystem utilities"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net"
depends=('glibc' 'bash')
source=(http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/${pkgname}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-WIP-2007-04-11.tar.gz \
    Makefile-fsck.static.patch)
build() {
  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-root-prefix="" --enable-elf-shlibs
  # add fsck.static for mkinitrd use
  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/misc/
  patch -Np0 -i ${startdir}/src/Makefile-fsck.static.patch || return 1
  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg install install-libs
  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/misc
  make fsck.static
  install -D -m755 ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/misc/fsck.static  ${startdir}/pkg/sbin/fsck.static
  sed -i -e 's/^AWK=.*/AWK=awk/' ${startdir}/pkg/usr/bin/compile_et || return 1
}

if there's no such file .. run abs on the terminal first...

It compiles fine, but problem is that this package lacks ext4 support

I just edited your config:

pkgname=e2fsprogs
pkgver=1.39
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="Ext2 filesystem utilities"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net"
depends=('glibc' 'bash')
source=(ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/e2fsprogs-interim/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-tyt${pkgrel}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-tyt${pkgrel}.tar.gz \
    Makefile-fsck.static.patch)
build() {
 cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-tyt${pkgrel}
 ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-root-prefix="" --enable-elf-shlibs
 # add fsck.static for mkinitrd use
 cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-tyt${pkgrel}/misc/
 patch -Np0 -i ${startdir}/src/Makefile-fsck.static.patch || return 1
 cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-tyt${pkgrel}
 make || return 1
 make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg install install-libs
 cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-tyt${pkgrel}/misc
 make fsck.static
 install -D -m755 ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-tyt${pkgrel}/misc/fsck.static  ${startdir}/pkg/sbin/fsck.static
 sed -i -e 's/^AWK=.*/AWK=awk/' ${startdir}/pkg/usr/bin/compile_et || return 1
}

I see e2fsprogs 1.4 is released. Wonder if it has ext4 support?

imachine · 2007-11-13 01:36:50

Signing this.

We'd love to see those patched versions come along - is the 1.40.2 with ext4dev patches already? Dont' think so.

If it's not, I might whip up some stuff and put into aur.

Stay tuned, cuz my ext4 partitions need fsck'ing

Laters,

mad hard to find ext4 patches for the 1.40.2 branch rubbish. all I've seen is 1.39 patches. and they don't work with 1.40.2.

what gives, eh?

searching mailing lists is nothing I fancy too much tbh.

anyone got any leads eh ?

PDExperiment626 · 2007-12-02 12:22:02

Looking at http://www.bullopensource.org/ext4/patches/ there seems to be no patchset for 1.40 as of yet. Anyway, that's the place I would be checking for updates when they occur.
