[9fans] Re: /sys/lib/lp/log

[Jeff Sickel <jas@corpus-callosum.com>]

After doing a fresh install (today) to update my machine to fossil, I 
noticed a few quirks that just needed a slight fix:

lp based commands like 'man -t man | page -w' would error out with

converting from troff to postscript...
/sys/lib/lp/log/stdout: rc (lp): can't open: permission denied
reading through postscript...
cannot find end of first line

The fix is just to create /sys/lib/lp/log/stdout

a-rw-rw-rw- M 63 sys sys 0 Mar  4 21:56 /sys/lib/lp/log/stdout


So for fossil either create your own stdout to use:

mkdir $home/lib/log
bind -c $home/lib/log /sys/lib/lp/log

_or_:

echo 'srv -AWP fs.noauth' >> /srv/fscons
mount /srv/fs.noauth /n/fossil
bind -bc /n/fossil/sys/lib/lp/log /sys/lib/lp/log

man -t man | page -w
exit


As the file is 666, it doesn't really matter who the owner is in the 
long run.
