[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Obtaining patches to Andrew

putsch@chillon.UUCP (Jeff Putsch) (02/18/91)

Howdy,

I'm currently running Andrew at patch level 5 and keep reading about
patches up around level 9/10. How does one obtain these?  UUCP access is
prefered, but I can get at anon FTP if needed.

Thanks, 

Jeff.

This release can be obtained in several ways.  The entire X distribution
is available via anonymous ftp from the Internet host, expo.lcs.mit.edu
(Internet: 18.30.0.212).  The sources for ATK, AMS and ODA are located
in the "andrew" tree,  one of the contributed tool kits. Just the
"andrew" tree from the X distribution,  as well as the latest patches, 
is available via anonymous ftp from the Internet host,
emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu (Internet:128.2.30.62).

We are providing updates to the Andrew software as necessary. These are
being distributed as patches (for use with the patch program distributed
as part of the X tape). These patches are being put on both expo (in
/contrib/andrew/patches) and emsworth (in /patches). In addition,
emsworth contains three complete distributions: a compressed tar file of
the sources on the X.V11R4 tape, a compressed tar file of the sources
with all patches applied, and a complete source tree with all patches
applied. Therefore, one can retrieve the desired patch files, the latest
version of the software, or the latest version of any specific file.
These files can be retrieved by anonymous FTP.
