This change illustrates a problem we need to be very careful to watch
for when doing this. The patch you've removed not only handles root
install but also handles stripping of the binaries.

Note this bit:

-+ifeq ($(IROOT),)
- chown $(DAEMON_USERNAME):$(DAEMON_GROUPNAME) $(IROOT)$(LFILE)
-- test -f $(IROOT)$(etcdir)/at.allow || test -f $(IROOT)$(etcdir)/at.deny || $(INSTALL) -o root -g $(DAEMON_GROUPNAME) -m 640 at.deny $(IROOT)$(etcdir)/
-- $(INSTALL) -g $(DAEMON_GROUPNAME) -o $(DAEMON_USERNAME) -m 6755 -s at $(IROOT)$(bindir)
-+endif
-+ test -f $(IROOT)$(etcdir)/at.allow || test -f $(IROOT)$(etcdir)/at.deny || $(INSTALL) $(INSTALLOWN) -m 600 at.deny $(IROOT)$(etcdir)/
-+ $(INSTALL) $(INSTALLOWN) -m 4755 at $(IROOT)$(bindir)

The -s option is removed from the install command.

Whilst we can remove the user ownership part of the patch, the -s option
needs to remain present as we expect unstripped binaries to be
installed.

Regards,

Richard

remove nonrootinstall patch, and use a patch named nonstripbinaries to modify the /at-3.1.10.2/Makefile.in, so it can also handles stripping of the binaries.

Thanks, much better. One more small thing though - could you add a
header to the patch with a description of what it does, why and who made
the change. In this case its fairly obvious but its a good idea in
general as when you come back to a patch six months later you can
remember why its there!

Also, poky pull requests like this should be going to the Poky mailing
list.

Cheers,

Richard
