Hi All,
After the recent Interim Build T2302, I was getting tired of seeing the handful
of warning messages about missing sources in the error log. Most of those
warnings are from the package not needing sources (like documents only) or the
sources are installed along with the binaries.
For most of the packages, I simply included a readme under sources. This will
prevent the RBE from warning about missing sources.
The BladeEnc package did not include any sources. After a little digging, I was
able to pull the sources out of the wayback machine. So, that package has been
fixed.
However, there are 4 other packages remaining with issues. All of which are
included somewhere on at least of one of the release media.
1) CPIDOS, this is basically just a package of codepage font files. Those files
have been assembled in some fashion into the CPX files and distributed as such.
However, there is no utility or information present in the package to create
such CPX files. We should probably do something to remedy that.
2) ROMOS, It appears the ROMOS sources are present. But, the package contains
several other utilities under the TOOLS directory. No sources for those
utilities are included in the package.
3) OPENGEM, contains a corrupt nested zip archive that fails to extract
'/SOURCE/OPENGEM/SOURCES.ZIP/PROGRAMMING TOOLKITS AND UTILITIES AND BUILD
TOOLS/atari gem programming library hexaid manual for games.zip’ with a CRC
error. This needs fixed by someone familiar with OpenGem.
4) CDP, This is not open source software. It is Freeware without sources.
Should this be removed. Is there an decent open source alternative?
Jerome
