[LinuxBIOS] Pending patches.

[Uwe Hermann]

Hi,

just a quick reminder for unapplied patches which probably got
overlooked (what was the decision regarding a bug tracker? use the current
one, install a new one, don't use any?).

Can we just put /usr/sbin into the path for compilation in this one?
This would solve all our problems I suppose.

I think latest changes to the tree require redoing parts of the patch

yes, if a tool is not in your PATH, fix the PATH, don't modify the 
linuxbios build process :-)

Actually Uwe is trying to fix something I messed up here, because SUSE
pack their development utilities in /usr/sbin ;-)

His patch does the right thing: removing the fixed paths from iasl.
But that will break autobuild. that could easily be fixed not an issue,
but it would also break compilation for a couple of people out there.

So in addition I was suggesting to do PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin in the build
process so nobody would notice we fixed it ;-)

Exactly. My patch plus PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin should fix all issues.

question is where to put it. Suggestions?
