I have run Nindent, the reformatting script, over all the C code, *except* HDT and externally maintained code (gPXE, libpng, tinyjpeg, zlib, and LZO). I'll leave it up to Erwan and Pierre to do gPXE. Please help clean up any stupidities when you see them. Especially asm() statements are quite butchered by Nindent, but even for common C code any automatic reformatting occasionally does

Improving chain.c32 help message Impact: Error message is more detailed In case of syntax error, the message is far more detailed and provides the same content as the documentation integrated in the source code.

Is there a demand for reformatting the theora source so that, for example, there is always the same amount of whitespace between variables in function declarations? It would make it much easier to read. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'theora-dev-request@xiph.org'

I notice that there's a lot of code in LLVM core libraries that is wildly inconsistent in formatting. Two particular things come to mind: -- Capitalization of method names. The LLVM guidelines say one thing, but a lot of recent code (such as IRBuilder) consistently does the opposite of what the guidelines say. One has to wonder which source of truth is more authoritative - after all, the docs

I have pulled in Stefan Bucur's updated elflink branch into the main Syslinux repository as the "elflink" branch, and fixed a couple of minor issues. Note in particular that I have *not* run Nindent over the sources... I will leave that to Stefan and Klaus unless there is a compelling reason to. Please note the following, however: int foo(); ... in C doesn't mean a function

Perhaps I am being stupid and if so please enlighten me. Assuming that all clients have reserved IP addresses on the dhcp server, surely it would be possible to have a com32 module that presented the boot options to both stdout and also allowed connections via ssh. After all for the system to get the files via tftp it has to have network connectivity so one piece of the puzzle is there already.

Hi everyone, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81 to the usual places. Again, special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time working on this stuff ;) -hpa Syslinux 3.81 is primarily a bug fix release. The main new features are halt-on-idle support and some features to isohybrid, including the ability to boot from an image written to a partition. Changes in 3.81: *

Hi, Using syslinux 3.80, I'm seeing pxelinux.bin hanging after the (succesfull) transfer of the default file. Running a lan trace, it appears that all goes fine until the time pxelinux sends a TFTP RRQ for menu.c32 to the TFTP server, gets the first data packet back, and apparently freezes at this point. The TFTP server then times out and retries (3 times) then finally sends an error packet

Given the number of people that are starting to be involved in Syslinux development, I wanted to start a discussion about a common coding style, for C code in particular. Currently, a lot of the code in Syslinux is written in different styles, partly because my own style has changed over the years. There are pretty much two alternatives that I think are realistic: a) Linux kernel coding style:

Two additions to MEMDISK to support OS drivers. The "safe hook" structure ("Safe Master Boot Record INT 13h Hook Routines") is a means for an OS driver to follow a chain of INT 13h hooks, examining the hooks'' vendors and assuming responsibility for hook functionality along the way. For MEMDISK, we guarantee an additional field which holds the physical address for the

Hi, The title says it all. One of my clients showed me a 120 GB hard drive that his daughter accidentally formatted, according to him. I booted the first CD I had at hand - a Slackware 11.0 install CD - and launched cdfdisk /dev/hda. cfdisk informed me that there was even no partition table. So much for reformatting. cfdisk only shows me 120 GB of free space. Any way to retrive data on this

And btw, about reformatting: currently stream_encoder.c contains the following code: #ifdef FLAC__SSSE3_SUPPORTED if(encoder->private_->cpuinfo.ia32.ssse3) aaaaa; else #endif #ifdef FLAC__SSE2_SUPPORTED bbbbb; #endif This code is correct because if FLAC__SSSE3_SUPPORTED is defined then FLAC__SSE2_SUPPORTED is

Maybe this is a silly question, but i have a few million files i need to delete but i can't just reformat the volume. Right now the fastest thing i can think of is nice -20 rm -Rf /folder-i-want-to-delete is there a better or faster way to do this? Thanks, Jamie

Hi all, I have received a fair number of bug reports over the last few weeks -- even days -- and I am therefore declaring 3.53-pre5 a release candidate for a 3.53 bug fix release. This 3.53 will not contain either of the two major features under development -- client side state (including boot-once) and gPXE integration -- since I want to avoid destabilizing the code base beyond the bug

I have decided to promote SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4 to release candidate status. If it tests out OK, it will become 3.31 some time next week, probably. -hpa

I want to convert all my NTFS partitions to ext3 since I'm no longer running Windows, at least on my main machine at home. I'm planning to tar the NTFS partitions to an existing ext3, reformat the partition as ext3 and untar it back. What is the best way to accomplish step two of this - reformatting the partition? I've only done this so far during the installation phase, and that

Just a slight poke regarding the MEMDISK and MDISKCHK.COM possibilities available here[1]. Review by non-hpas is welcome, too. Thanks! - Shao [1] http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/sha0/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ mdiskchk_enh2

Hi Folks, I'm interested in "headless" installation. If I use GRUB, then I provide arguments to the kernel of things like "headless vnc vncpassword=whoopie ip=dhcp" GRUB passes this on to ISOLinux, which manages the CD and subsequently the installation. Shouldn't I be able to do exactly the same thing with EXTLinux? I ask, because, as you might suspect, I
