From dbf9c6748a2c7eb32f7a61ea2b393d32ea334c8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "graham.gower" Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 23:10:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Flush stdout, stderr before forking. From Richard Purdie. Thanks! Patch to remove "duplicate" bits of logs from opkg output, which massively simplifies do_rootfs logs. The reason is we get unflushed data passed to the children and duplicated.
