[MirageOS-devel] Fwd: [ocaml-tuntap] can't leave the persist setting unchanged (#7)

[Vincent Bernardoff <vb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there :)

Anil, could you maybe enable PR/issues in mirage/ocaml-tuntap ?

It was forked from my own github account, and for some reason the
issues/PR are still on my github (original) fork. I'm not sure I can do
something on my side.

I'm going to have a look to his remark though.

Cheers,
Vincent

When I do the following, for example:

    $ sudo tunctl -u luked
    Set 'tap0' persistent and owned by uid 1000
    $ sudo ifconfig tap0 10.0.0.1/24
    ...
    $ ./nonblock_read.native tap0
    ...
    ^C

then tap0 is deleted, despite the fact that I made it persistent. To
avoid this, I think that opentap should not modify the persistence of
the device if the ?persist argument is omitted. Do you agree that this
is more friendly? If so, I'll submit a pull request. I am actually using
mirage/ocaml-tuntap but that repo doesn't have issue tracking enabled.
