Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/2] core: revert to using fakeroot instead of pseudo

All,

On 2016-11-05 11:46 +0100, Yann E. MORIN spake thusly:

Quoted 2 lines

We very recently switched to using pseudo instead of fakeroot, because fakeroot has issues (which are hard to fix) with SELinux-enabled hosts.

[--SNIP--]

Quoted 3 lines

Since we're now getting far ahead in the stabilisation phase, it makes sense to throw in the towel and revert bacvk to fakeroot, which for now has less issues than pseudo.

[--SNIP--]

After discussing the matter on IRC, we've decided to go another route, to instead fix makedevs to make it check the file and accept if its already the expected type, and only bail out if not.

Patches marked as rejected in patchwork.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
