[comp.os.minix] ST 1.5.10.4 upgrade - progress report

bob@miranda.inmos.co.uk (Bob Green) (05/31/91)

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...

-Bob

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 ;-( )
