Status: OPEN Andrew will update the TR document shortly for the LSB 2.1 spec, (he did note he had difficulty with the URLs at linuxbase.org) Defect Report Processing ------------------------- The group picked up on the latest batch of defect reports, which are available at the following URL: http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/ XSH ERN 52 BUG in sched_setscheduler OPEN It was requested that this be held open for one more meeting. XBD ERN 41 Defect in XBD POSIX2_SYMLINKS Accept as marked Add to unistd.h Add a new paragragh after the existing text "_POSIX_SYNC_IO Synchronized input or output operations may be performed for the associated file." If the following constant is defined in the unistd.h header it applies to files and all paths in all file systems on the implementation _POSIX2_SYMLINKS XCU ERN 51 Defect in XCU mv OPEN We believe that the standard being silent allows either behavior. We agreed to state this explicitly. Add to mv DESCRIPTION Page 656 before 25426 (Insert into p656 before the existing para that states: "If the duplication of the file hierarchy fails for any reason, mv shall write a diagnostic message to standard error, do nothing more with the current source_file, and go on to any remaining source_files.") If files being duplicated to another filesystem have hard links to other files it is unspecified whether the files copied to the new filesystem have the hard links preserved or separate copies are created for the linked files. Leave open until the next meeting to improve the wording XCU ERN 52 man Accept as marked This is an interpretation of the standard. The standard is clear , however concerns are being forwarded to the sponsor. Note to the editor for a future revision: Change line 24571 to "The standard error shall be used for diagnostic messages, and may also be used for informational messages of unspecified format." XSH ERN 68 error in Example for statvfs Accept Next Steps ----------- All should prepare XSH ERN 29 and 52 for the next call. Andrew will update the aardvark reports with the latest inbound defect reports. The next call is March 3 2005
