[PATCH] modify ver_linux to check e2fsprogs and more.

[PATCH] modify ver_linux to check e2fsprogs and more.

[Steven Cole]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5298 bytes --]

I have modified the scripts/ver_linux script to provide the following:

1) The order of version checks is now the same as the list in the
   Current Minimal Requirements section of Documentation/Changes
   for easier comparison.
2) Made capitalization  consistent with the list in Changes.
3) Added version check for ext2 utils (e2fsprogs).
4) Added version check for pcmcia utils (pcmcia-cs).
5) Added version check for pppd (PPP).
6) Added version check for isdn utils (isdn4k-utils).
7) Added whitespace for better readability.

Due to the extensive rewriting, the patch against 2.4.1-ac6 is
larger than the ver_linux script itself.  I will include the proposed
new version of ver_linux here inline, and I will attach the patch itself,
which isn't as readable. This patch should apply against -ac5 and -ac7 also.

Here is the output of the current ver_linux for my system:

[root@localhost scripts]# ./ver_linux.orig

-- unusual then possibly you have very old versions)

Here is the output of the new ver_linux:

[root@localhost scripts]# ./ver_linux

*Please* consider modifying this. There might be a problem:

Hmm, I guess the newer verion of hostname broke the old behaviour:
[root@localhost scripts]# hostname -V       
net-tools 1.57
hostname 1.99 (2000-02-13)

But, there is an easy solution:
[root@localhost scripts]# ifconfig --version
net-tools 1.57
ifconfig 1.40 (2000-05-21)

I replaced the old code for Net-tools with this:

ifconfig --version 2>&1 | grep tools | awk \
'NR==1{print "Net-tools             ", $NF}'

That should work.  I hope.  Try it please.

A new patch, still against 2.4.1-ac6 is attached.
It should work with 2.4.1-ac5,6,7.

AFAIK, all distributions use hostname from net-tools, not from
sh-utils.

% hostname -V
net-tools 1.57
hostname 1.99 (2000-02-13)

Why duplicate it (on Linux) ?
