Wouldn't asking upstream to revert the code removal be a start? I'm sure they simply didn't know that there's another platform relying on the code (and not being able to provide a functional /sys emulation). > If I could configure the ! package, I could test if a patch like the > following would work: Ideally you should use cygport to do that. Unpack the util-linux source archive, cd into the created source dir, call cygport util-linux.cygport prep Then change into the util-linux-${version}.${arch}/src dir, apply your patch, go back to the dir containing the util-linux.cygport file and call cygport util-linux.cygport compile Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
