I have just unpacked all the patches and applied them. Nearly everything went fine apart from a few CRC failures and missing files. The files which fail the
CRC check are:
commands/fixbin.sh: ERROR: expected 07961 2837, got 53145 2837
fs/main.c: ERROR: expected 47648 17133, got 62320 17133
include/signal.h: ERROR: expected 38482 4197, got 07877 4183
kernel/stfloppy.c: ERROR: expected 37435 16238, got 31420 16222
stfloppy.c failed to patch properly so I tried to do it by hand, so I'm not surprised that it went wrong. stdskclk.c also failed to patch, but I did that
by hand and the CRC came out OK.
The missing files are:
kernel/ansi.h: file not found
lib/other/sigset.c: file not found
lib/posix/syslib.c: file not found
lib/posix/waitpid.c: file not found
There is of course an ansi.h in include/ansi.h, but the sizes and CRCs in the list are different, so I don't know what it is. Nothing in the kernel #includes it (as far as grep(1) can tell).
other/sigset.c I found in posix/sigset.c (with the correct CRC), and LIBORDER
refers to it as posix/sigset, so I assume that's just a tiny boo-boo. The same
is true for posix/syslib.c; I found it in other/syslib.c.
LIBORDER doesn't mention posix/waitpid, so I'm not too worried there either.
It also complained about some derived files: kernel.out, sigset.o which I've ignored.
So, nothing too horrible there. Just a few points that maybe Frans (or anyone)
could clear up for me (and others I'm sure).
1) Are my CRCs correct or are yours ?
2) Whats the story on the `missing' files ?
If it's my sources that are at fault, can anyone send me copies of the files
mentioned above with the *CORRECT* CRCS (correct as defined by the list posted with the upgrade kit, not correct as defined by "Well it compiles and runs ok on
my system" ;-))
I'll take all this stuff home tonight and try and build a system !
Thanks for listening...

BTW: I use a program I wrote, based on crc(1) which takes a list of CRCs and
compares it against the real files. Would it be worth my while posting this
or does something like it already exist ? (I seem to spend my life
re-inventing the wheel ;-( )
