netncp/nwfs is rotting...

2003-02-24 Thread Tim J. Robbins
A few months ago there was a thread on this list discussing the state of NWFS/netncp/libncp/etc. on 5.0. Terry Lambert produced a patch [1] that made netncp compile. The patch still applies cleanly to -current and almost compiles; I broke it with ncp_ncp.c rev 1.13, adding #includes of sys/lock.h a

f77 broken on -current

2002-06-08 Thread Tim J. Robbins
f77 cannot compile any programs on -current: %f77 test.f /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lfrtbegin Creating src/gnu/lib/libfrtbegin and placing this Makefile in it fixes it (after editing the parent directory's makefile to hook it in): .PATH: ../../../contrib/libf2c/libF77 LIB=frtbegin S

sh and job control

2002-06-04 Thread Tim J. Robbins
Can anyone else reproduce this problem? There seems to be a problem with job control in the shell or the kernel's notion of a 'foreground' process. I'm inclined to blame my modifications to the job control code, but I can reproduce the problem with a checkout from May 10, before I changed it. %cv

Re: NetBSD sort l10n: I give up!

2002-04-07 Thread Tim J. Robbins
Here is a patch to make NetBSD's sort(1) sort by the locale's collating order. The table should not be called ascii[] anymore, but I can't think of a better one, and supplying a patch to change the name would be pointless. It works. It assumes the string strxfrm() outputs is the same length as it
