glaucus Linux

util-linux

  • ./autogen.sh requires GNU gettext, so we run autoreconf -vfis instead
  • requires libcap-ng to build setpriv (glaucus already provides s6-setuidgid) (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3360.0.html)
  • gawk is hardcoded in in tools/all_syscalls
  • use kill from util-linux instead of the one from procps-ng because that is what most distributions are using
  • check if python is a real dependency in native, and if so then what uses it
  • /etc/adjtime should be /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime according to the latest FHS (meaning that both Arch and Alpine are using an old directory version) https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch05s08.html#varlibhwclockStateDirectoryForHwclo
  • musl has its own sys/ttydefaults.h so don’t provide one (like Alpine)
  • Disable raw as it requires raw.h which is only available on glibc
  • col requires glibc (build system disables it by default on musl)
  • glaucus disables more and uses less by default
  • more depends on libmagic from file
  • using LIBS instead of LDFLAGS does not ensure nsss and utmps are being linked, and causes weird issues (requiring manual logout to initiate shutdown)
