Dear CVS Community,
First off, thanks for the wonderful work you have shared with the
open source computing community. CVS (and RCS) are wonderful tools.
Two minor glitches we bumped into while installing under Solaris 2.6
using gcc 2.95.2 on a SPARCstiaton 60:
1) The "make check" operation ends like this (edited for readability):
cd src ; make AR='ar' CC='gcc' CFLAGS='-g -O2' LDFLAGS=''
LIBPROGS='' LIBS='-lxnet' MAKE='make' MAKEINFO='makeinfo'
RANLIB='ranlib' TEXI2DVI='texi2dvi' YACC='bison -y'
bindir='/depot/package/cvs_1.10.8/bin'
infodir='/depot/package/cvs_1.10.8/info'
libdir='/depot/package/cvs_1.10.8/lib'
mandir='/depot/package/cvs_1.10.8/man'
prefix='/depot/package/cvs_1.10.8'
exec_prefix='/depot/package/cvs_1.10.8' check
/bin/sh ./sanity.sh `pwd`/cvs
id: illegal option -- u
Usage: id [user]
id -a [user]
This test should produce no other output than this line, and a final "OK".
FAIL: basica-notadded
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `check'
Current working directory /export/home/sherwin/cvs_1.10.8/src
*** Error code 1
which suggests to me that the "id" command is being invoked incorrectly
for this platform -- a configure glitch perhaps?
2) The title line of the installed manual page for cvsbug.1m reads:
.TH CVSBUG 1M xVERSIONx "February 1993"
which suggests that something is not replacing the string "xVERSIONx" with
the current version number.
Finally, a suggestion: the CVS web site ought ot have an email
functionality for reporting bugs. The hassle of joining an email
list that you would not normally be on, just to send a message like
this, is going to deter many from sending in reports, which will
impede the speed of improvements to CVS.
Cheerio, Rick Rodgers
