Linux - stores timestamps internally as the number of seconds since the EPOC in - UTC(GMT). However the psion seems stores timestamps as the number of seconds - since the EPOC. However the EPOC in defined relative to the currently set - timezone on the psion. - - My new fix takes into account the timezone and DST status provided by the - linux system, it now works in by GMT(UTC+0) and BST(UTC+0+DST), but I - haven't tested it very much in other timezones, but I think it works. - - It provides the correct timestamps apart from files created within a hour - of a DST change, however this can't be helped due to the strange way the - psion stores timestamps and handles timezone and DST." -4) Added --with-mountdir option to configure to allow the plpnfsd mount point - to be specified at build time. Default is /mnt/psion. -5) Added /dev/psion at the start of the serial ports probed for. -6) Peter Cherriman's patch that fixes compilation of ftp.cc on some platforms. -7) Jim Hague's patches for SIBO, and later Linux Kernels, from Feb 2000. - My apologies to Jim for not merging these sooner. He says: - - "I've been doing a little work on getting plptools working with my 3a. ... - I have plpftp working for file transfer and plpnsfd also working, at least - sufficiently to back up my 3a. - - I have also modified the include files required for the Linux build so - that it works with a 2.2 series kernels with the NFSv3 patch applied; - actually, all I've done is copy the relevant bits of the old NFSv2 headers. - - It all seems to work with my 3a, though compared to p3nfsd plpnsfd seems - very slow at listing directories - when time permits I shall take a - closer look. - - In addition to my English 3a (v3.22F) I have also tried it on an Italian 3a - (v3.40F). The latter exhibits some curious behaviour - if you start ncpd, - run up plpftp and quit plpftp, the 3a closes its serial port down (drops - CTS and DSR) and seems to need a reset before it will re-open the serial - port. Again, when time permits I shall see if it does this when using - PsiWin." - - Other parts of Jim's patch: - "Which reminds me - 0.6 doesn't seem to have working copyFromPsion and - copyToPsion. I've fixed it up and tidied up the retrieval of Owner - Infomation a little - 3as anyway send lots of \0\0\0\0\0, each of which - was being displayed in plpftp as a blank line. " - - Jim's patch removes lots of diagnostics in the rfsv16 code, and looks like - it fixes lots of stuff I hadn't got round to <hides head in shame>. - Splendid. - -Last patch update: 18/07/00. - |
