Since I'm passing around Cnews source kits:
- Is there an official MANIFEST file for the Cnews source kit
available?
- Any other means to make sure the kit is complete?
- How about a "make distribution_kit" entry in the Makefile?
Thanks in advance
Johan

I should probably do something about that. > - Any other means to make sure the kit is complete? Simple truncation errors can be guarded against, if you're looking at the cnews.Z distribution as we ship it, by looking for "echo done" as the last line. There is no real protection against gaps in the middle, however. > - How about a "make distribution_kit" entry in the Makefile? There are an abundance of Makefiles involved :-), including some that don't go out with the distribution. I think I'll defer this one until I find time to do the long-promised shakeup of the configuration stuff (which will include Makefile upheavals). -- TCP/IP: handling tomorrow's loads today| Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology OSI: handling yesterday's loads someday| henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
