Hello there. So i completed other entry which was in TODO. I hacked pacman-lib to use chroot() system calls and not the binary one. Entry was in TODO. The attached patch is for latest checked pacman-lib, which is: 2005-10-29 09:18 aurelien * src/pacman/: conf.c, conf.h: fixed parseconfig usage Patch description: ------------------ Removed: -------- * Removed old chroot binary detection part * Removed global declaration for chrootbin. Added: ------ * Added a complete new way to chroot and do things. Modified: --------- * Modified cmdline snprintf's to right way. Eliminated | (pipe) and echo things, which looked terrible ugly :) As you need to know, this patch using a fork() and chroot() and execl() instead of system() call. execl() looks better and safer. fork() is required for chrooting in child process, if i do not do a fork() then whole process stays in chrooted env. So fork is neccessary as i think. Please test it and see it, if it is ok, then commit it. (I tested it, worked for me) Regards Christian Hamar alias krix Hungary Frugalware Development Team
