Message-ID: <20408.9211090134@thor.cf.ac.uk> Date: 9 Nov 92 01:34:51 GMT Sender: news@cm.cf.ac.uk (Network News System) Organization: University of Wales College at Cardiff Lines: 214 X-Mailer: Cardiff Computing Maths PP Mail Open News Gateway Well I've started on a ported software list. I wouldn't even call this a first draft. It's really so we can decide if the format's right and get people to start making submissions. If you've ported any software to 386bsd then fill in the form below and mail it to me. If you think there should be other fields in the form then let me know. Persoanlly, I'd like to see the packages get installed at ref.tfs.com so that if people see something they want in the list they can try it on ref.tfs.com and know that the package they get from there will work as specified. The maintainer entry is an attempt to mirror the /etc/workgroups file at ref.tfs.com, this may change when things get more organised. I've also said I'll produce a work in progress list. If you're currently working on porting software, developing new drivers or fixing kernel bugs then send me the details. I've had some replies but there are a lot more people that I know have taken particular areas of the system under their belt. I told Lynne about this and she also thinks it would be a good idea to get a list like this done and to use it to organise appropriate categories for new work. Draw up a form something like the ported software one, including anything you think is relevant. When I've had enough replies so that I know what people think should be included I'll draw up a standard form for that too. Here's the blank form for submitting ported software details. The ghostscript entry below, from me, shows how I'd like to get them. --------- PACKAGE: --------- Description: Status: Maintained by: Primary: Secondary: OS version: Installed at ref.tfs.com: Available from: Requires: Notes: ========== PACKAGES CURRENTLY PORTED TO 386BSD 0.1 (9 NOV. 92) --------------------------------------- --------- PACKAGE: ghostscript 2.5.2 --------- Description: postscript interpreter Status: fully working Maintained by: Primary: Paul Richards (spedpr@thor.cf.ac.uk) Secondary: OS version: 0.1 pl58 Installed at ref.tfs.com: YES Available from: ref.tfs.com:/usr/packages/ghostscript-2.5.2-386BSD.tar.Z Requires: X386 Notes: version at ref.tfs.com only has X11 driver. ========== --------- PACKAGE: gcc 2.3.1 --------- Description: FSF's C/C++/objective C compiler with obective C runtime library Status: Enquire does not generate correct float.h Maintained by: Primary: ljo@po.cwru.edu Secondary: OS version: Installed at ref.tfs.com: YES Available from: Patches at ref.tfs.com:~ljo source at prep.ai.mit.edu Requires: Notes: Patches needed for gstdarg.h, gstddef.h, gvararg.h and config/i386bsd.h. 386BSD uses _VA_LIST_ inconsistently in machine/ansi.h and stdio.h ========== --------- PACKAGE: libg++ 2.2 --------- Description: FSF's C++ class library and iostream library Status: everything except tRational works, the test tRational dies from floating exception.
