Does anyone know if these actually work for any sender?

I've tried to send in things like bug fixes over the years and none of my messages ever showed up. And yes, I sent plain text, without links, manually wrapped at 72 characters. Following the directions to the letter seems to make no difference, unless there are more in some obscure place.

I've got two fixes for the current SVN version...

If anyone is trying to build the current SVN there are problems with Util-Linux-2.30.

#1 Build fails in chapter 5 with errors. This is due to upstream changes in configure.ac in version 2.30

The fix is to setup a couple of compatibility symlinks before building.


#2 In the systemd version since Util-Linux-2.29.x was introduced, the configure reports "--enable-libmount-force-mountinfo" as an unrecognized option. This is because it's function was rolled in with another flag in 2.29.x. The correct flag is now:

Hopefully one of the devs will see that, I know at least one of them is around here. Maybe save them some time, or you if you're building the SVN. BTW: Perl 5.26 breaks things badly and I suspect upstream changes are needed in GCC and other packages to fix them.

Are you subscribed to the list you're trying to send your mail to? If not, it will never get through.
