| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In -STABLE, this is default, in -CURRENT it is not, which leads to many a headache for a user coming to -CURRENT without remembering this fact. It is one of the POLA violations we have not avoided by preparing the users for it appopriately. Therefore, a warnx(3) is added here, explicitly to be MFC'd shortly to start the re-education process rolling. Reviewed by: General murmurs of approval in that IRC channel.

* Add prototypes for main() so that these programs compile with -WerrorLuigi Rizzo2001-12-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (which somehow now seems to be the default for compiling -current). This error popped up while doing a PicoBSD cross-compile on a 4.3-ish system, it may well be that there are other apps which have similar problems, but I did not spot them as they are not included in my picobsd config. Whether adding prototypes for main() is the correct solution or not I have no idea, a request to -current on the matter went basically unanswered. Those who have better ideas are welcome to back this out and replace it with the correct fix. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=87893

* Backed out previous commit. chown(8) doesn't follow symlinks byBruce Evans1998-05-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | default, at least in BSD. This used to be automatic, because chown(2) didn't follow symlinks. When chown(2) was changed to follow symlinks in BSD4.4, chown(8) was changed to not follow symlinks by default. The previous commit broke this. The first victim was bsd.prog.mk, which uses a plain chown in an attempt to change the ownership of the symlinks to `dm' in /usr/games. This fails when it is done before dm is installed, or messes up the ownership of dm if dm is installed. Unfixed problems: 1. When lchown(2) was implemented, chown(8) wasn't changed to implement the historical behaviour of changing ownership of symlinks. I'm not sure if it should have been. The -HLP options give more complete control, but they unfortunately don't apply unless the -R option is specified (a problem shared with other commands, e.g., cp; I guess we're supposed to use -R even for non-recursive traversals). 2. If we implement the historical behaviour, then -h would become a no-op and should be left undocumented. 3. The man page suggests that without option -h, all symlinks (to files specified in the command line?) are followed. It's not clear what "the file" is. These bugs were introduced when -h was documented. 4. The correct interaction of -h with the other flags is not clear. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=35632
