You MUST pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd before attempting to use the new
libc, or things may go wrong. (I doubt anything actually /will/ go
wrong, but the actual behavior is undefined. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.)
The database format is, however, backwards-compatible, so old executables
will still work.
something in them, and which ones were left blank. This will be used
for YP support in a few minutes, and for user login classes if anyone cares
to implement them.
subscriptions yet. Wait for the announcement.
CTM is my humble attempt to get -current out to people beyond TCP/IP
connections. This is for people with dial-up connections and such.
CTM can make a delta from one version to another of a source-tree, in
a efficient and verified way. Even if there are binary files in the
tree. It will even try to make the delta as small as possible.
It is OK with me if you yell "Bloating!" but I'll just forward your email
to some of the happy customers from CTM version 1, and let them tell you
what they think.
I will not put ctm into "make world" yet. For now it is just the logical
way to get the sources out to people who helps me test this.

new mtree options.
I will be updating these shortly to remove some old stuff and add some
new stuff. These currently produce the exact same trees as they did.
have got the following:
Back out the changes in the previous revision. Function-like macros
were replaced by compound statements that work in less contexts.
Unoformize idempotency #ifdef.
Restore the simple leap year calculation as a macro and document it so
that it doesn't become complicated again. The simple version works
for all leap years covered by 32-bit time_t's. The complicated version
doesn't work for all leap years covered by 64-bit time_t's since among
other reasons, the solar system is not stable for long enough.
Fix declarations.
Nuke spinwait().
"gcc -Wstrict-prototypes" doesn't emit warnings about them.
Write each min/max functions on a single line so that the similarity and
triviality of the functions is more obvious.
Put the quad min/max functions in the correct place (aphabetical order).
The u_quad min/max functions are missing. Only 3 or 4 of the min/max
functions are actually used. sys/socketvar.h ``should use "lmin" but
it doesn't exist now''. lmin does exist now, but isn't used. Since we
depend on gcc for `inline', perhaps we should depend on it for __typeof
and function-expressions and use only macros min() and max() that work
for any types (I'm not sure how to handle mixed types).
no longer link against the whole library, since they don't require much
from it, but just compile the few small modules they actually need static.
This should save a measurable amount of space; compare:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 155648 Sep 18 18:00 cc1*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 1048576 Sep 18 17:33 cc1.noshae*
Of course, the library takes up a bit of space, but when you add in the
savings from the C++ compiler, you more than make up the difference:
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 1157344 Sep 18 18:27 /usr/lib/libcc_int.so.26.0
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 491520 Sep 18 18:27 /usr/libexec/cc1plus*
(void) setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
It will be easiest way now to make national chars available
for all ctype-oriented programs at once by simple:
setenv LANG Your_National_Charset
Default case (without "LANG" environment
variable) will be fully ANSI compatible (got "C" locale).
If "LANG" variable present, extention becomes active.
Effect of this extention is great: in one time all ctype
oriented programs can accept/print national characters
without any touching source/binary code, it is big win, IMHO.
This method is fully compatible with ISO8859-* and russian koi8-r
too (in general -- with all 8-bit character sets). I think
it is very useful.
I got this idea from Xenix locale implementation.
This extention is even never compiled in, unless you set
setenv STARTUP_LOCALE
before rebuilding crt0.c or corresponding variable in /etc/make.conf
