The Good News: Last Fall, the Sun Microsystems User Group (SUG) put out its second tape of user contributed software. One of the major packages included on the tape was a copy of University INGRES. (mail sun!users for details) The Bad News: There are no doubt countless bug fixes and improvements lying around in Netland for this software. Unfortunately, there is no official (other than RTI :-) repository for them. This may be due, in part, to the quasi-licensed status that the previous INGRES distributions have had. The Pitch: Send 'em in!!! I will collect bug reports, fixes, hacks, names of folks, and so forth. Given time, I will look into hacking around a bit. Failing that, I will make the repository available to anyone who wants it. Let's see if we can create (find? resurrect?) a community to use and support this package... -- _ o _ |_ _ _ _ _ o _ Canta Forda Computer Laboratory | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UNIX software consulting and training | | |_ | | | | | |_| | | | | {hoptoad,ptsfa}!cfcl!rdm +1 415 994 6860
