[comp.sources.bugs] TRN part 9 repost is still wrong

chris@bullwinkle.UUCP (Chris Andersen (The Dangerous Guy)) (12/07/90)

The repost of Part 9 of the TRN shar to comp.sources.unix is not even 
compatible with the previous distribution.  In that distribution files
were split between shars.  The file being unpacked at the end of part 8
should be continued in part 9 (the repost).  It is not.  It doesn't
even appear in the repost.

Well, I sh'ed the new part09 that came across, set s2_seq_.tmp (or whatever
that stupid name is) to 10, and sh'ed part10->the end and I'm currently
replying to you from that version of trn.

The original part10 posting continued ng.c which is presented complete
in the part09 patch.  I haven't looked at the part10 patch, so the following
instructions work for the part09 patch and the original part10

All you gotta do:
1) unpack the original parts 1 through 9
2) set the sequence thing to 10 explicitly (broken part09 didn't do this)
3) unpack parts 10 and on
4) remove ng.c (it's going to be overwritten)
5) unpack the part09 patch
6) do the unipatch thing
7) Configure and make

=======

A question: just what version of trn is this, anyway?  When you hit 'v'
it claims it's trn 1.0.1 but I thought the posting claimed it was 1.2.2
or some such.  Is this posting more than one patchlevel away from what's
sitting in uunet.uu.net:~/news/trn.tar.Z

Thanks, and enjoy building trn...
