- First off, is anyone even *using* the new man I posted? A number
- of people expressed interest and then vanished right after I posted
- it. I'd like to know that it got out, at least.
-
- That said, several patches try to patch the man directory so be wary
- of running all the patches through after running my script. You
- might want to:
-
- .. (cd to man src directory)
- mv apropos.obsolete apropos
- mv man man.new
- mv man.obsolete man
-
- If you're thinking of backing out all your patches, say, to go from
- Alpha to Beta. This will save you from having patch bomb out. You
- can then move things back after you're finished.
-
- On a positive note, I compiled all of XFree86 1.1 with gcc 2.3.1 and
- it works great (with -O2 -m486). 2.3.1 obviously isn't as buggy
- as some people are claiming.
-
- Of course, when I tried to compile libc with it, it coredumped on
- ldexp.c, so it's not *that* robust either!
-
- Cheers..
