Kamens) Original-subject: v17i038: com_err - MIT SIPB Common Error Description Library, Patch04 Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) This patch brings the "com_err" package from patchlevel 3 to patchlevel 4. Use "patch" in your com_err source directory to apply it. However, before applying it, you should rename files in your source directory as follows: Original Filename New Filename ----------------------- --------------------- com_err.texinfo.Z.uu c_e.texinfo.Zu error_message.c error_msg.c mit-sipb-copyright.h sipb-copying.h texinfo.tex.Z.uu texinfo.tex.Zu This change is to accomodate systems that are restricted to 14-character filenames. This patch accomplishes the following: 1. I think I've finally got all of the RCS headers in sync, so after this patch, I shouldn't have to send out any more patches that change the RCS strings in files without changing anything else. 2. I've prevented the Makefile from building profiled libraries. 3. I've added rules to the Makefile to unpack the files that are distributed packed. 4. I've added BETA-TESTERS and ARCHIVE SITE sections to the README file (please read them). 5. I've made the SysV support a bit more consistent.

However, I do not have access to a large variety of + platforms, so I can't effectively test all of the changes I make. I'm + therefore looking for people who are willing to beta-test changes + before I release them to the general public. If you are interested in + doing this, please let me know. + + + ARCHIVE SITE + + The most recent version of the com_err package and patches to get from + previous versions to the most recent version are archived on + pit-manager.mit.edu (18.72.1.58). You can retrieve them via anonymous + ftp in the directory /pub/com_err, or via mail-server (send a message + with the subject "help" to "mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu"). + + [400+ lines deleted, and slightly edited for comp.archives. --Ed.]
