From: "Bill Ince [MFCF]" <wcwince> did a 'make distribute' in orchid:/software/micro, so that Fun would have Kermit. Fixed a few errors in /software/talk/Makefile-body so that at least it would complete (changed the single line "etc." to an echo that said there might be more to do, as it wasn't obvious just what "etc." was supposed to mean in this case). added a Targets file to distribute only to Lily & Fun (for now), to avoid distributing to non-longnames machines. did a 'make distribute'. Noticed that someone had added Bryce to /software/xhier/data/hosts/software. Removed it, as Bryce shouldn't receive all packages by default (it mounts most things from Fun). Fixed the misleading comment at the beginning of the file. The 'make distrubute' told me to add a line to inetd.conf on Fun and Lily, so I tried to bury inetd.conf first. No bury, saw that orchid:/software/graveyard/Makefile was old, so went to update it on Math. math:/software/graveyard/Makefile-body was still the original template (which stopped distribution), so filled it in by deleting most of it (under the assumption that graveyard doesn't need any special installation steps), and distributed to Orchid. That was wrong, it needs to create a spool directory. Fixed, and redistributed to Fun via Orchid. Modified /etc/inetd.conf on Fun and Lily as the 'make install' directed. RJ can determine if that's adequate, and update the Makefile-body accordingly.
