12 History

Below you will find a short history of Geek Gadgets in the form of the ChangeLog file for each snapshot. These are the recorded changes since the last Geek Gadgets snapshot, as found in the master Geek Gadgets ChangeLog file. Note that they do NOT record all changes, just most significant ones. The minor changes can be found in the ChangeLog files of the individual packages, if at all.

Beware that the last snapshot is almost always omitted for technical reasons (the ChangeLog is complete only after the generation of this document). Consult the real ChangeLog for the very last changes.

Each snapshot accomplishes a complete rebuild of the whole Geek Gadgets file-tree with the newest development environment. See section 3.2 Snapshot.

Please note that large parts of Geek Gadgets evolved from previous GNU porting activities of the Amiga community. See section B Origins.

Mon Sep  9 21:58:01 1996  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	* Globally changed AmigaDOS->AmigaOS and amigados->amigaos in ADE
	source tree.  Added code to gcc, g77, and gnat to warn about attempts
	to use either "amigados" or "__amigados__" in preprocessor control
	lines, but accept them for now.  This will become a fatal error in a
	future release, probably 2.8.0.
	* Replaced "cbm" with "unknown" or "*" in all configuration files,
	depending upon whether the file was generating or matching a
	configuration triplet, and only in places where it made sense to
	do so.  Commodore's Amiga Unix for example still uses "cbm".

Fri Sep  6 09:59:18 1996  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	* Reverted Amiga change in "make" that made ';' the VPATH pathname
 	separator character, as in MS-DOS and Windows.  Backed out changes
	in octave and texinfo where ':' had been changed to ';'.
	* Applied gcc patch from Daniel Verite for large-baserel support.
	* Updated cvs from version 1.8.1 to version 1.8.7

Thu Sep  5 09:58:27 1996  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	* Updated gettext from FSF 0.10 to alpha version 0.10.24.
	* Applied gcc/gnat patch from Kamil Iskra to change nostackcheck
	option to no-stackcheck; ditto for nostackextend.
	* Applied fifolib diffs from Joerg Hoehle to update to version 38.3.
	* Created new top level subdirectory "docs", moved PROJECTS, README,
	README-cross there, and added Joerg Hoehle's bugs.texi, along with
	rules in Makefile.in to build info, guide, ps, and dvi versions.
	* Added rule to top level Makefile to install config.cache in
	the etc directory, to be distributed in one of the binary archives.
	* Applied binutils patch from Daniel Verite for loadfiles with more
	than three sections.
	* Updated "make" from version 3.74 to 3.75.

	* Applied logfile patch from Lars Hecking to fileutils.
	* Applied gcc patches from Hans Verkuil for shared library
	support.
	* Reinstated automatic linking with -lamiga in gcc LIB_SPEC
	because removing it caused too many problems.  It was too
	easy for the user to not remember (or know) that -lc had to
	be included first when explicitly using -lamiga, and thus
	pick up things like sprintf from libamiga.a rather than
	from libc.a.

Tue Aug 20 14:13:51 1996  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	* Applied findutils patch from Hans Verkuil for find bug.

Fri Jul 12 10:30:26 1996  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	* Fix perl Makefile so that it installs the library
	files in /ade/lib/perl.

Tue Jul  9 19:32:45 1996  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	* Removed hack that allowed gcc to explicitly set its own stack from
	the value in the environment variable GCCSTACK.  This hack is
	incompatible with use of -mstackcheck or -mstackextend, which will
	soon be getting much more testing now that some automatic stack
	extension performance problems are being dealt with.  Similar changes
	were also needed in g77 and gnat.

Mon Jul  8 09:02:44 1996  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	extension.

	* (gcc): Applied patch from Kamil Iskra to fix code that does case
	dependent #include processing, but tweaked it just a little.
	* (gcc): Removed automatic inclusion of -lamiga from linker command
	line generated by gcc, since new include files are supposed to handle
	making AmigaOS calls inline and libamiga.a should no longer be
	necessary.  Had to make minor tweaks to a few programs to fix
	things afterwards, mostly adding appropriate #include's.
	* (gcc): Reworked code in cccp.c that determines whether a pathname
	is an absolute path or not.

Sat Jun 29 16:40:35 1996  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	* Applied patch to gcc, g77, and gnat to add a host specific
	supplimentary file that gets linked with the C preprocessor,
	moved some host specific code from cccp.c to a new amigacpp.c,
	and added code to allow cpp to handle #include filenames in
	a case dependant manner.

Thu Jun 27 17:04:52 1996  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	* Applied binutils patch from Daniel Verite to not output
