[comp.sources.d] Anonymous UUCP access to osu-cis

karl_kleinpaste@cis.ohio-state.edu (01/31/91)

Below are the latest instructions/catalog for getting at the archives
on osu-cis via UUCP.  A number of related items...

* "Read before opening."

I (er, we of the facilities staff, here at OSU CIS) get a whole lot of
questions from people about how to do things which are quite
adequately described in this file.  Please look over the description
to see how to find out about things not explicitly listed in the
verbose catalog (i.e., get osu-cis!~/ls-lR.Z), be aware of how to
unpack split, compressed tar archives, and that sort of thing.  Make
sure that directory permisions at your end will allow the files to be
sent.  You can't possibly be in a hurry to get things if you're going
to the effort of picking it up via UUCP, so take your time and make
sure you've done it right.

* By the time you see these, they're out of date.

I've made 4 updates to this file in the last 36 hours.  The safest
thing to do before picking up anything of any size from osu-cis is to
get the latest GNU.how-to-get and ls-lR.Z files, so that you know
exactly what's available here.  I still find people trying to refer to
files under /u/public, the head of a directory tree which hasn't
existed in years on a machine which has long since died.

Once more, just in case you don't believe me yet:
	THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ALREADY OUT OF DATE
so pick up a fresh one just before starting any major source
acquisition.

(Now just watch, things will be quiescent for a couple of days, and
some smart aleck will pick up GNU.how-to-get and tell me that nothing
changed after all.  It would figure. :-)

* The state of modems on (and near) osu-cis.

The short version: Sigh.
The long version: Well...

** V.32

The direct-connect V.32 modem failed us quite a long time ago by now;
it's still listed in these instructions (commented out), but I haven't
had it really alive for quite a while.  This hasn't been at all
pressing for us because the Micom port selector has V.32 these days,
so the need for direct V.32 has been very small.  Note, using V.32
through the Micom for UUCP requires that you set your end to do no MNP
or flow control, due to the necessity (I'm told; I remain unconvinced)
of configuring the Micom's modems to do host-side xon/xoff when told
to go into MNP, for the sake of the greater bulk of interactive
terminal & PC Micom users from the community here at OSU.

** TrailBlazer

The direct-connect TB modem has died again for the 3rd time in as many
months.  We are working on both repair and replacements, but this
takes time, especially for something which tends to be viewed as
non-critical.  One replacement (loaner? gift? I dunno) is there in the
machine room, and if I could find more than 3 minutes to spend up
there, it'd get connected and might just push some bits around for us.
I also have an offer from one person to donate another to us, so...if
we could get 'em _all_ to life, there'd be 3 TBs here for anon UUCP
usage.

Maybe.  Just maybe.

I want to say one more thank you to Philips Components for having
donated the direct-connect V.32 and TB modems we've been using for so
long.  They both gave a lot of service before they choked, and they
may both yet continue to provide service if we could just get around
to dealing with them properly.  Time, all I need is time, plus an
occasional OSU "100W" form to charge the repairs...

These problems notwithstanding, osu-cis (saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu)
is as busy as ever.  Right now, aside from 5 news neighbors currently
picking up batches, 3 Uanon users are also burning up the phone lines
between hither and yon, so we must be doing something right after all.

I haven't had the time to look at the modems myself for a couple of
weeks due to (aside from having been out of town) other things being
in the way, the most notable among which is...

* Last time I'll post these.

I'm leaving OSU CIS effective 1 Feb, heading for the Ohio
Supercomputer Center, where I'll be doing network research things.
The staff here at CIS will continue to maintain the archives, but
addressing me in particular for help in such efforts will generally
result in your message being forwarded to uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu,
where it'll land in a staff-specific newsgroup for such stuff.  The
folks who will be claiming (ir)responsibility for the archives will
probably be George Jones <george@cis.ohio-state.edu> and possibly
Bryan Dunlap <bcd@cis.ohio-state.edu>.  This is not engraved in stone
as yet; it's more like lukewarm Jell-O.

* It's been fun.

I've been doing maintenance of archives like these since I was a grad
student and GNU Emacs v13.something-or-other came out, around 1985 or
so, I think.  That was back when we had a 4.1BSD VAX 780 named
osu-eddie with one 1200bps inbound modem attached to him.  We made
Emacs available because of the complaints about its unavailability to
the Great Unwashed Masses Of UUCP.  When Eddie was due to replaced, we
got a 3B2 which really _was_ named "osu-cis," and we got a horde of
phone lines to it plus Micom access and boy we thought we were doing
well.  Two years later and that poor little 3B2, who was also doing
massive UUCP forwarding for the central Ohio area plus newsbatching to
a dozen sites, collapsed under the load as well, so he was replaced by
a Pyramid 90x.  At this point the little lies of UUCP started since
the machine wasn't actually named "osu-cis" (HDB UUCP's MYNAME= fakes
it well for us), and most of the archives weren't actually on the
discs of "osu-cis," but instead live on other nearby boxes and are
accessible via NFS mounts and symlink mindgames.  That Pyramid was a
vast improvement over the 3B2, but we didn't have it supported on a
service contract due to its age, and when its twin (a cannibalization
victim we acquired for dirt) stopped being able to provide replacement
parts, we decided to put a Pyramid 98xe in its place, which is what
stands there now, duly service-contract-supported, in large part due
to a grant from CompuServe.  (Be grateful for the small favors,
folks.)  Further changes to that hardware may yet be in the offing,
but I won't be a part of it.  Bug or feature, I can't decide. :-)

It's been weird keeping ahead of the flow, of both users who want more
and faster access, as well as the number of things we try to archive.
We've only trimmed back once or twice, and we've generally been able
to find more disc which we could dedicate to archives when it was
really needed.  Currently, I think there's about 500Mb unused, spread
across the four systems on which the archives live.

* Take it easy on the new guys.

Originally, I did this myself, before I worked here officially.  Then
Bob Sutterfield did it alone after I finished my MS and before I
started working here.  Then Bob and I did it together for a couple of
years.  Bob left and I've been back to doing it alone again.  George &
Bryan & Whomever haven't had to touch it much in the last N years so
they'll no doubt run into things I haven't documented properly or
which I've left incomplete.  If you've got problems with osu-cis,
please be kind to 'em all and ask nicely.

have a blast,

The Computer and Information Science Department of the Ohio State
University provides Free Software Foundation GNU products (and others)
via UUCP only as a redistribution service.  Anything found here is
only and exactly as it would be found on the indicated Internet hosts,
were one to acquire it via anonymous FTP (like we did); or else saved
it as it flowed past on the Usenet source distribution newsgroups.
OSU CIS takes no responsibility for the contents of any of the
distributions described in this message.  See the Distribution
document (emacs/etc/DISTRIB when you unpack and build Emacs) and the
GNU Emacs General Public License (emacs/etc/COPYING, similarly).

How to reach osu-cis via uucp
===============================
Here is a set of L.sys or Systems file lines suitable for osu-cis:

#
# Direct Trailblazer
# dead, dead, dead...sigh.  for the 3rd time in as many months.
#
#osu-cis Any ACU 19200 1-614-292-5112 in:--in:--in: Uanon
#
# Direct V.32 (MNP 4)
# dead, dead, dead...sigh.

#
# Micom port selector, at 1200, 2400, or 9600 bps.
# Replace ##'s below with 12, 24, or 96 (both speed and phone number).
# Can't use MNP with V.32 on -3196
#

Modify as appropriate for your site, of course, to deal with your
local telephone system.  There are no limitations concerning the hours
of the day you may call.

We are deeply grateful to Philips Components of Eindhoven, the
Netherlands for the donation of a Trailblazer Plus and a Codex 2264
for use by the community at large.

Where the files are
===================
Most items exist on osu-cis for distribution purposes in compressed
tar form, exactly what you find on the indicated hosts in the
specified origin files.  Most items are cut into pieces for the sake
of uucp sanity.  This separation helps if your uucp session fails
midway through a conversation; you need restart only with the part
that failed, rather than the whole beast.  The pieces are typically
named with a root word, followed by letter pairs like "aa" and "bj,"
meaning that the pieces are all named with the root word, followed by
a dash and the suffixes indicated, using the letters inclusive between
the two limits.  All pieces but the last are 100,000 bytes long, and
the fragmentary last piece has some smaller size.

available are:

Diffs available are ~/gnu/gcc/
    gcc.diff-1.30-1.31.Z     63,593
    gcc.diff-1.31-1.32.Z    204,325

GCC requires Bison, since it uses a feature (@n) of Bison that's not
in Yacc.  Remember to pick that up too - see the instructions above.
GDB, the GNU Debugger for C, is available separately - see above.

Current releases of gcc comment (in the source) that a version of
Bison not older than Sep 8 1988 is required for correct operation.
Such a version is in place on osu-cis.

GNU Chess
---------
Source is prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gnuchess-3.1.tar.Z of 6 Aug 1990.
File is ~/gnu/chess/gnuchess-3.1.tar.Z [one file], 278,221 bytes.

GNU COFF Support
----------------
Changes to gdb and gas to support native COFF on Sun386i and on vanilla
System V 68k and 386 systems, WITHOUT robotussin. Also included are minor fixes
and changes for gcc, g++ and Interviews, as well as gcc and gdb config files
for Sun386, System V/386, and System V/68k systems.
Source is Michael Bloom <mb@ttidca.tti.com> on 16 September 1990.
File is ~/gnu/coff/gnu-coff.tar.Z, 167,931 bytes.
Note: these Changes are not (yet?) recognized by the FSF (due to not
being much interested in SysV/COFF things).

GNU CPIO
--------
Source is prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/cpio-1.1.tar.Z as of 9 Jul 1990.
File is ~/gnu/cpio/cpio-1.1.tar.Z, 58,135 bytes.

    diff-18.54-18.55.Z          104,213

Note that diff files frequently have new files or instructions at
their top, and that it may be necessary to cut a diff file into as
many pieces as there are directories in which patches were made; this
depends largely on the recency of your patch program.

What to do with it all - building Emacs as an example
======================
Pick a night when you can afford to be at the office late.  {:-)}

Arrange to have the files uucp'd to your site.  Copying the complete
set of Emacs slices will take on the order of 5 hours at 2400 bps,
correspondingly more at 1200.  Your mileage will definitely vary, by
as much as 20% on either side of that (intentionally vague) estimate.
By way of comparison, a transfer of Emacs 18.50 at 2400bps to
Portland, Oregon was reported to cost about $42.00, weekend rates.

NOTE: Do not request the files to be transferred using a command like

% uucp osu-cis!~/gnu/emacs/18.56/emacs\* /some/local/directory

because that won't work.  That will queue up a short request via *uux*
to run a uucp command on osu-cis; it will fail for security reasons.
You must issue many uucp commands: one for each file in each
distribution you want, plus one for each diff file you want.  They
will all get queued and executed in as few UUCP connections as
possible.

After the files have all showed up, you should extract the full
distribution of GNU Emacs thusly:
        cat emacs-18.56.tar.Z-part-?? | zcat | tar xvf -
Voila`, you have GNU Emacs, ready to build and cause you both joy and
pain for the rest of your life.  The other stuff available here is
unpacked similarly.

The `zcat' mentioned above is part of the `compress' distribution,
which you will have to get if you don't have it yet.  Everything that
we distribute (except `compress' itself) is compressed with a 16-bit
Lempel-Ziv scheme.  Some computers (notably those based on Intel
family microprocessors) are unable for memory segmentation reasons to
handle compression with a scheme higher than 12 bits.  Since we can't
afford the space and time to provide both 12- and 16-bit distributions
via this mechanism, if you need things in a 12-bit compression format,
you will need to find a cooperative friend with a full 32-bit machine
to uncompress the distribution, and possibly recompress it for you in
12-bit format.

Miscellany
==========
This file of instructions exists as the file ~/GNU.how-to-get, and is
updated as new distributions and diffs come out and are made
available.  This happens much more frequently than the full set of
instructions are posted to comp.sources.d, so get it first to be sure
what you are getting later in each night's UUCP transfer.
Unfortunately, the worst case might be that (e.g.) if you only get
part of a full distribution one night and a new version arrives during
the day, you might get some of the part-*s for the old version and not
know that the rest of your part-*s are from the new one.  Get this
file to be sure.

There's another file called ~/ls-lR.Z that contains the output of
executing the comand `ls -lR' at the top level of the UUCP
distribution tree.  Lots of other stuff is available besides the most
popular stuff that's listed here.  That file is updated daily at
around 3:00am Eastern time, so you may want to get it occasionally to
keep up to date.

People often have problems with uucp.  Feel free to write us some mail
as osu-cis!uucp; we'll be happy to help as much as we can, though that
is usually limited by distance and mail turnaround time.

Cheers...

May I be among the first to say that:
	you will be missed
	your yeoman work for, lo, these many years, has garnered you much
	  honor
	your lucidity, expressiveness, help, care and concern has earned
	  you the respect and gratitude of the multitude of Usenet users
	you will not be missed, since you have so well impressed your
	  values and knowledge upon the others at osu-cis, and upon the
	  worldwide community of users, that the bridge will be ably manned,
	  the crew will be exceptional, and the passengers happy.

We will indeed have a blast, karl, and I wish you excitement and fun and
all good things in your new endeavor.
