OK, I just finished generating a special ctm delta, which used as it's base the state of the src-cur tree as of src-cur.4274. I named it src-4.0001.from-src-cur.4274.gz, because I needed to differentiate it from the normal src-4.0001.gz which'll be the first src-4 I'll be starting to generate a few minutes from now. This new delta will be showing up at mirrors shortly, in the src-4 subdirectory. I won't be mailing it. There have been problems with getting ftp.freesoftware.com to mirror properly, I know abou that, I don't have immediate responsibility for it, and I don't know who does yet, but I have stuff being done *anyhow* to find it and fix it. I won't give it up until I do get it fixed, don't worry about it. Anyhow, if you use this special first delta, you don't need the xEmpty I'm going to be making either. The next one to apply will be src-4.0001.gz. This brings up a problem you have to deal with: THE NUMBER IN .ctm_status WILL BE WRONG !!! Note that this new delta will want to set .ctm_status to 0001, and you just have to delete this file, so that the next src-4 delta to apply will go on cleanly (one small ignorable warning about the missing .ctm_status). First guy to use it, get the error, and send me a complaint, gets the booby prize (I won't list the offender, but I want to ask as many as possible to read this and avoid being that person). Figure I will have the new src-4 first delta out in maybe 4 hours, and I'll be turning on ctm for general use again tomorrow. Thanks for your patience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
