Description Flags
use O_LARGEFILE for basic LFS support in 32bit linux as currently being used in gentoo none

Description Arenas Belon, Carlo Marcelo 2007-07-05 05:46:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
when running in a 32bit architecture (i386/i686 for example) cronolog won't be
able to write to a file that is bigger than 2GB and will refuse to start if the
log is that large as well, resulting in missing log data and reliability problems

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.6.2-4

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure an application to use cronolog to print (by piping to it)
2. let it run until the logs grows bigger than 2GB
3. restart application
  
Actual results:
application won't restart because cronolog would fail to start

Expected results:
application will start and keep writting to its log through cronolog

Additional info:
a patch is provided from upstream as shown in the URL, with the root cause being
that LFS support wasn't enabled in cronolog latest released version

Thanks for the patch, I've committed it and it will be included in release "5"
as soon as it gets built and pushed out for F7.
