First, apologies to all for not posting something earlier.. I don't
always have time to read netnews, so I've been replying to querants
via mail but didn't get around to just posting a general set of
answers.
If you're having problems with the new patchset, or are just curious about
the workings of a few things, here's some info for you:
1. You need to make install in /usr/src/include to migrate the new
patched .h files into /usr/include. The patchkit IS NOT supposed
to patch files in /usr/include that are just copies of the /usr/src/include
collection, as has been suggested, since that would only result in
them getting wiped out on 'make installs'!
Sequence to get the world working properly:
cd /usr/src/include
make; make install
cd /usr/src/lib/libc
make clean; make; make install; make clean
(new libc is needed for atof)
2. Patch00089 is slightly broken, I'm afraid. I reversed the patch
to awk's config.h (/patch/installed/patch00089/part.2) - simply
apply it by hand with 'patch -R' and all will be well. I'll fix
this in the full 0.2.2 version of the patchkit. Sorry.
3. The config program has changed, which will cause '#' comments to behave
strangely until you rebuild config.
Sequence:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config
make clean; make; make install; make clean
And away you go! One /usr/src build away from happiness!
