It is the LBL-UCB MH 6.5.1 version. + Tony Sanders <sanders@austin.bsdi.com> + ------- + Here is the diff to add automatic file decompression to more, which + means that if you compress your man pages, that more will + automatically decompress them as they are displayed to you by "man". + This file is in /bsdi.sw/sw/patches/compressed_more.patch on bsdi.com. + webb@napa.telebit.com (Bill Webb) + ------- + Here is a portion of my fdisk program which prints out lines for + /etc/mtoolsrc written in C++.

I found a bug + in slip that would cause this error if the line was not using hardware + carrier detect, but instead used the clocal flag.

But as + I do not know what POSIX has to say about this syntax, I haven't + bothered to fix it there too. + File: /bsdi.sw/sw/gamma/patches/sed.dash.patch + on bsdi.com + root@eab.retix.com (Erik Forsberg) + ------- + (GAMMA) + Tcpdump patches: + Patch 1 + This is a real bug.

Today, I found a much + better way to fix this problem. If you already applied my + previous fix, please restore files(both net/bpf.c and + i386/isa/if_ne.c) and then apply the following fix. + File:/bsdi.sw/sw/gamma/patches/tcpdump.patch[1-2] + Yoshitaka Tokugawa <toku@dit.co.jp> + ------- + (GAMMA) + Another script to make a set of symlinks to compile off of a CD-ROM + filesystem. + File:/bsdi.sw/sw/gamma/progs/web.makelinks.script on bsdi.com + webb@napa.telebit.com (Bill Webb) + ------ + (GAMMA) + If you are running version 8.9 of Ingres on BSD/386, you may have noticed + some problems with the locking deamon. The biggest problem, which I fixed, + is that the ingreslock program is using older semantics for select. They + used long's with select instead of fd_set's so select gets horribly + confused. I assume this is a relic of the days when the second parameter + to select was just an int. + + Anyway, I removed the bit fiddling and changed all of the manipulations to + their correct FD_XXX counterparts. Plus, I initialized a table that + seemed to need it (maybe it didn't, but it doesn't to hurt!) + + If you have picked up ingres89.tar.Z from bsdi.com or applied the + Ingres.diff file sent there, just: + + cd /usr/ingres/source/support (or your source area/support) + patch -p <this_file + + I have found a couple of other changes from the Lynix port.

They + has been tested on gamma 1 and gamma 3. I do not know if they will + work on the beta release. + To configure and compile smail, you will need to install a current version + of bash as /bin/sh. The shipped version of /bin/sh (ash) will not work, + and neither will older versions of bash. Also, at least on gamma 1, you will + need to create the file mkdriv.perl by running mkdriv.awk through + a2p (awk to perl). THe makefile shipped with smail3-28 will then know + to do the right thing. + File: /bsdi.sw/sw/gamma/app.patches/smail-3.28.patches + bjorn@sysadmin.com (Bjorn Satdeva) + ------- ======================================================================== Subject: Section 4.
