+ The recently completed support for the Panasonic cdrom audio is now
+ available by anonymous ftp from bsdi.com:/sw/gamma/progs/libcdrom.tar.Z.  
+ This tar archive contains the sources and objects for the library, plus 
+ a binary for cdctl(1).  Besides the Panasonic drive, it includes support
+ for the Toshiba 3201B SCSI, the Mitsumi ISA, and any SCSI-2 drive.

+ An updated MH is available at bsdi.com in the /bsdi.sw/gamma/progs

+ 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.

+ Here is a portion of my fdisk program which prints out lines for
+ /etc/mtoolsrc written in C++.  This file is in

+ The following are my corrections to 4 math functions missing from the gamma
+ release.  I have tested erf() and erfc().  I have not tested
+ drand48 and srand48.  File:

+ The new sed in gamma-3 fails both to compile and execute a
+ substitute expression like 's/\\/\\\\/g' which is supposed to
+ replace each back-slash with two back-slashes.

+ Someone reported a problem with slip where they would get host unreachable
+ errors even though the routing entries looked fine.  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.  Slip was checking
+ carrier detect without checking clocal as well.  The fix is appended.

+ (GAMMA)
+ I find it quite annoying that stock ps reports the name of /dev/com1 to
+ be co, the same as for /dev/console.  The following 4 additional lines to
+ print.c in the ps directory fixes that:

+ -------
+ (GAMMA)
+ The distributed new sed is unable to compile regular expressions
+ like this one (occuring frequently in GNU configure scripts, found
+ this one from the gdb 4.7 configure)
+ 
+ s/^[-a-z_]*=//
+ 
+ The problem is with the first character in the [] character set.
+ Traditional sed (BSD 4.3) allows a single - to be treated as a
+ ordinary character.
+ 
+ As sed uses the regex stuff in libcompat, I fixed it to allow
+ this syntax in /usr/src/lib/libcompat/regcomp.c See the case
+ that was removed by #ifdef notdef
+ 
+ This problem also exists in the libc regexp version. But as
+ I do not know what POSIX has to say about this syntax, I haven't
+ bothered to fix it there too.

+ Tcpdump patches:
+ Patch 1
+ This is a real bug. If you have NE[12]000 Ethernet card or
+ 3Com EtherLink III(ef?) or EtherLink Plus(ep?) card, you should
+ better to apply this patch.
+ Patch2
+ Yesterday, I posted my fix to here. 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.

+ Another script to make a set of symlinks to compile off of a CD-ROM
+ filesystem.

+ ------
+ (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. I'll be posting
+ those very soon:

+ on bsdi.com

+ -------
+ (GAMMA)
+ Below is a shar archive with the necessary changes for BSDI.  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.
