[comp.windows.x.motif] 1.1 Xt patches == patch15-patch18?

colin@nbc1.nbc1.ge.com (Colin Rafferty) (10/05/90)

Hi.

I'm about to get Motif 1.1 and I've been hearing that there is a patch
that is distributed with it to fix Xt.  I also hear that it is
supposed to be incorporated in the "official" patch15.

Well, I just noticed that on the Xstuff service, as of October 2,
there is patch15 through patch18: a four part patch for Xt.

I have a one simple "yes or no" question:

 1) Does this fix incorporate Motif's Xt patch?

If you have answered "yes" to the previous question, then when I
receive 1.1, I will blindly ignore the instruction that says to
install their patch for Xt.

If you have answered "no" to the previous question, then I have one
more question, which may require a short answer.

 2) Should I install the Motif patch (a) before, (b) after, or
    (c) instead of Xstuff patch[15-18]?

Anyone that could help me with this, please let me know.  I read this
group all the time, but I think our connection is flakey, so mail
would be very much appreciated, even if it looks like:

  1) False.
  2) b.

Thanks very much.

It supersedes it.  If you have the MIT fixes, don't apply fix-osf.  If
you have already applied fix-osf, back it out (with patch -R) before
applying fix-17.

The answer to Question 2 is moot.

I've also sent mail to Colin.
