Austin Group Minutes of the 31st August Teleconference Austin-312 Page 1 of 1 Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group. September 1, 2006 Attendees Andrew Josey, The Open Group Ulrich Drepper, Red Hat Nick Stoughton, USENIX, ISO/IEC OR Don Cragun , Sun, PASC OR Mats Wichmann Apologies Mark Brown, IBM, TOG OR Action item review --------------------- ACTION AI-2006-02-04: Nick Stoughton to submit an aardvark against link() when the appropriate time is reached w.r.t. approval of strawman 2. STATUS: OPEN ACTION AI-2006-02-28: AJ to filter the XSH, XCU and XRAT aardvarks for SD5 and interps material. (ongoing action) STATUS: OPEN, ongoing in progress The cutoff for draft 1 was June 12. We are not planning to take any changes past that date at the moment. Austin/280r1 is the latest notes arising from SD5 and is frozen The new document with new issues arising from SD5 is Austin/302 Action AI-2006-06-01: Andrew to work out the full set of changes for recirculation for XSH ERN 132 OPEN Next Face to Face meeting ---------------------------- See http://www.opengroup.org/austin/. An IRC channel will be available for the meeting irc://irc.freestandards.org #austin The regular dialup teleconference bridge will also be available. Aardvark Defect report processing: ----------------------------------- XCU ERN 94 ed SIGHUP/disconnect OPEN Action: Mark will take the action to come back with a further proposal See reflector XSH ERN 147 Tracing POSIX_TRACE_RESUME OPEN Carried fwd from last week At the minimum the text appears to be confusing. We will need an interp to cleanup the issue. One view is that the POSIX_TRACE_RESUME event is logged at the time the next event occurs. Action: Mark Brown will review and make a proposal XCU ERN 117 find -perm Accept as marked below Change XCU page 453 lines 17567-17573 from: -perm [-]onum If the hyphen is omitted, the primary shall evaluate as true when the file permission bits exactly match the value of the octal number onum and only the bits corresponding to the octal mask 07777 shall be compared. (See the description of the octal mode in chmod.) Otherwise, if onum is prefixed by a hyphen, the primary shall evaluate as true if at least all of the bits specified in onum that are also set in the octal mask 07777 are set. to: -perm [-]onum If the hyphen is omitted, the primary shall evaluate as true when the file mode bits exactly match the value of the octal number onum (see the description of the octal mode in chmod). Otherwise, if onum is prefixed by a hyphen, the primary shall evaluate as true if at least all of the bits specified in onum are set. In both cases, the behavior is unspecified when onum exceeds 07777. XCU ERN 116 touch -t before epoch dup of 110 XCU ERN 110 touch -t before epoch Accept XCU ERN 114 tail -f < FIFO Accept as marked. Note that we dropped the last suggested change from the original action since we thought it an oversight in those writing the spec at the time. On line 34861 change: "If no file operand is specified and standard input is a pipe" to: "If no file operand is specified and standard input is a pipe or FIFO" On page 900 line 34947 change: "... if standard input is a FIFO or a FIFO is named, the -f option shall not be ignored." to: "... if a FIFO is named, the -f option shall not be ignored. Earlier versions of the standard did not state any requirement for the case where no file operand is specified and standard input is a FIFO. Since current practice is to treat this case the same as a pipe on standard input." XCU ERN 113 m4 maketemp Accept as marked below This is an interpretation of the standard. The standard is what it says but concerns are being been forwarded to the sponsor. Notes for a future revision. A future revision of the standard should add a new macro named mkstemp that would always create a file using the processes current umask and return the name of that file, and not return the name of an existing file It should also note in application usage that the maketemp macro should not be used, and the mkstemp macro used as an alternative. Next Steps ----------- Andrew will update the aardvark reports with the latest inbound defect reports. The next call will be 7 Sep irc://irc.freestandards.org/austin ICAL: http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/nvctqtstkuni3fab9k3jqtrt4g@group.calendar.google.com/public/basic XML: http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/nvctqtstkuni3fab9k3jqtrt4g@group.calendar.google.com/public/basic
