The ctm updates are made as follows: 1) I maintain a tree that is supposed to be exactly the tree built by applying the series of ctm updates. 2) I maintain a copy of the master cvs tree by sup from a secondary server. 3) Each morning I extract the 2.1 tree from this cvs archive. 4) The ctm make program effectively does a diff of the two trees and generates the file which brings tree (1) into conformity with tree(2). 5) After applying the update to my tree (1), I send the update to the central mail distribution point for FreeBSD.org. From there it is sent to all subscribers, including the ftp archive. There are a few possible sources of a difference. 1) The time delay may cause my tree to be slightly behind. However, I assume that is not the case here. 2) Something got corrupted in one of the file systems. 3) The cvs tree doesn't check out the correct information. I infer that the problem is with the Makefile for libf2c. I'll try to track down the error. -- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net -- ...computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and weigh only 1/2 tons. -- Popular Mechanics, March 1949
