Message-ID: <1992Nov17.014956.27074@tfs.com> Organization: Trw Financial Systems Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 01:49:56 GMT Lines: 143 The following mail aliases have been created on ref.tfs.com and mail has (hopefully) been fixed in the tfs.com domain so that they work: 386bsd_kernel: :include:/usr/aliases/kernel 386bsd_drivers: 386bsd_net_drivers 386bsd_misc_drivers 386bsd_net_drivers: :include:/usr/aliases/net_drivers 386bsd_misc_drivers: :include:/usr/aliases/misc_drivers 386bsd_sharedlibs: :include:/usr/aliases/sharedlibs 386bsd_Xfree86: :include:/usr/aliases/Xfree86 386bsd_gcc: :include:/usr/aliases/gcc 386bsd_libg++: :include:/usr/aliases/libg++ 386bsd_mathlib: :include:/usr/aliases/mathlib 386bsd_ghostscript: :include:/usr/aliases/ghostscript 386bsd_ghostview: :include:/usr/aliases/ghostview 386bsd_binutils: :include:/usr/aliases/binutils 386bsd_make: :include:/usr/aliases/make 386bsd_xview: :include:/usr/aliases/xview 386bsd_xvgr: :include:/usr/aliases/xvgr 386bsd_xfract: :include:/usr/aliases/xfract 386bsd_ftptool: :include:/usr/aliases/ftptool 386bsd_archie: :include:/usr/aliases/archie 386bsd_elm: :include:/usr/aliases/elm 386bsd_mush: :include:/usr/aliases/mush 386bsd_uemacs: :include:/usr/aliases/uemacs 386bsd_tf: :include:/usr/aliases/tf 386bsd_less: :include:/usr/aliases/less 386bsd_zip: :include:/usr/aliases/zip 386bsd_mkcmd: :include:/usr/aliases/mkcmd 386bsd_fortran: 386bsd_ftoc 386bsd_ftoc: :include:/usr/aliases/ftoc at the moment addition to these groups is manual. send mail to the group and hopefully someone will add you, or alternatively, add yourself to the indicated file (make sure it etains 666 permissions) new groups may be added by any user of ref (including guest) so I hope people will do so. if you cannot get yourself added to a group and you wish to participate in development realted to that group, send me mail at julian@ref.tfs.com and I will add you. Bill jolitz has told me that the following work needs to be done: 1/ he needs some people to validate the gcc2.3.1 suite by compiling the entire 386bsd distribution and noting what changes need to be made: (does gdb work?) (386bsd_gcc is probably the place to go to do this) I will try add another disk to ref specifically for this large task. 2/ he would like some people familiar with shared libraries, to get together and he will work with them (he is busy) towards implimenting shared libraries. Join 386bsd_sharedlibs for this. 3/ the new linux math package might be looked at by someone and maybe ported (if the author agrees) volunteers? ---------------------------------- not to nag too much, but, the following people still don't have .forwards on ref. I may delete these directories if no-one comes forward to claim them..

Wright -------------------------------------- Some people have suggested I place an IRC on ref rather than the planned (probably COOL) MUD. I am open to suggestions but a MUD may give more flexibility in terms of specialised 'meeting' facilities such as the ability to 'table' code fragments for discussion and such, also a mud needs only that the users have a telnet rather than a special client. (though one helps) This is still open. --------------------------------------- ref has a MTBF of about 36 hours at the moment (probably the heaviest used 386bsd machine around) so I will be booting it each 24 hours (preemptively) probably around 17:00 GMT (9AM PST?) until we find the memory leaks etc. Things I want to see include a good MAN system that can handle normal MAN docs not the CAT docs presently on 386bsd. +----------------------------------+ ______ _ __ | __--_|\ Julian Elischer | \ U \/ / On assignment | / \ julian@tfs.com +------>x USA \ in a very strange | ( OZ ) 2118 Milvia st.
