If you have a RedHat system, just install the source RPM and then look somewhere under /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and you'll find the original tar plus seperate patches. Otherwise, run rpm2cpio on the source RPM and extract the patches. (The patches are seperate files.) You are allowed to take the patches to the GPL'ed software since that is what the GPL dictates. Most of RedHat is GPL'ed software. Tom -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
redhat patches
hi. i wondered : did someone try to extract redhat patches from all their sparc packages ? it's gpl, so we are allowed to take the patches of other distributions and use them... or doesn't redhat have patches ? i don't knbow their srpm format... btw: what about setting up a database/ftp/whatever somewhere with all patches from all distributions (and all plattforms). i used patches from other distributions for isdn, and it saved me some time. of course all distributions send their patches back to the maintainers (i hope so), but in many cases this way isn't fast enough ... andreas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I have compiled this packages: debmake 3.3.6 zlib 1.0.4-7 less 332-1 pgp rsaref tar 1.12-1 grep 2.0-12 textutils_1.22-2 sed_2.05-14 diff_2.7-13 Thet are already uploaded, and I will mantain them if nobody objects. tar doesn't work very well (I have already reported the errors on this list, and maybe I have to raise a bug against myself) Andreas Jellinghaus has compiled some others programs on my machine, that I have not yet tested, He has used his script that automatically build packages from sources. Fortunatly some packages compiled cleanly: ae_962-14_sparc.deblibgsm-dev_1.0.10-2_sparc.deb autolog_0.34-2_sparc.deb libgsm1_1.0.10-2_sparc.deb bin86_0.4-3_sparc.deb lshell_2.01-8_sparc.deb bison_1.25-9_sparc.deb make_3.75-6_sparc.deb cflow_2.0-9_sparc.deb minicom_1.75-2_sparc.deb debianutils_1.5_sparc.deb nasm_0.94-3_sparc.deb dialog_0.9a-9_sparc.debpmake_1.0-15_sparc.deb diff_2.7-13_sparc.deb prcs_1.1.1-2_sparc.deb diffstat_1.25-6_sparc.deb pwgen_1-7_sparc.deb dlltools_2.17-13_sparc.deb rcs_5.7-7_sparc.deb elvis-tiny_1.4-3_sparc.deb sed_2.05-14_sparc.deb fdflush_1.0.0-8_sparc.deb setserial_2.12-4_sparc.deb flex_2.5.4-2_sparc.deb shellutils_1.16-4_sparc.deb ftnchek_2.9.4-1_sparc.deb sudo_1.5.2-4_sparc.deb gmp_2.0.2-2_sparc.deb syslinux_1.30-2_sparc.deb grep_2.0-12_sparc.deb sysnews_0.8-8_sparc.deb gzip_1.2.4-15_sparc.debsysvinit_2.71-2_sparc.deb indent_1.9.1-16_sparc.deb tar_1.12-1_sparc.deb libgsm-bin_1.0.10-2_sparc.deb textutils_1.22-2_sparc.deb then the script failed, because I rebooted my sparc :-). I have them on my machine, and could upload on some ftp site, if someone want to test them. BTW, my sparc machine is running a full debian system. The installation suffers from some well known problems but I managed them well. It would be very helpful if someone with a sparc with a floppy could test the installation procedure. I'm now trying to compiled SILO with glibc. Eric, please take a look at the error that I reported, with tar and glibc. I have not the skill to look at glibc sources to correct it.

It need a lot of enhancements/bugfixes, but I don't have time to work on it for 1.5 month at least. Sorry. Furthermore, I don't have a Sparc (even without floppy drive) I could use to validate the installation procedure. So, I don't object to anyone how want to take over this package. I can provide a set of patches against an old boot-floppies package (1.2.17 ?) as a start point for a new developer. BTW, boot-floppies should be enhanced to really support diskless installation and serial consoles. About fdisk, a binary program is available in util-linux 2.5-9 package found in Debian/Sparc tree. I just made a mistake when I built boot disks that made it unavailable. Eric. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | En les supprimant."
