From: faith@cs.unc.edu (Rik Faith) Subject: New files on archives Date: 5 Jun 92 21:48:13 GMT I have uploaded the following files to tsx-11.mit.edu:/incoming and to banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/Incoming. All GNU utility files contain static binaries, man pages, and a README.linux which tells how to patch the source to compile under gcc 2.11c. Some may also contain info files. All are more recent than the versions on tsx-11 at the present time. I had some problems using some of the older versions (especially gawk), so I recompiled with a later gcc and with latest GNU versions. fd-1.6.tar.Z This is my Future Domain TMC-1660/TMC-1680 driver. These are patches against 0.96a + Linus' first patch. NOTE: These patches are *only* for the 1660 and 1680. These are Future Domain's 16bit cards that are for 16bit ISA busses only. Future Domain made some cards with 16bit edge connectors that would work in PC's and in AT's: THIS DRIVER IS *NOT* FOR THOSE CARDS! Neither is this driver for Future Domain's 16bit cards that were introduced earlier this year. PEASE CHECK YOUR MODEL NUMBER BEFORE YOU WASTE YOUR TIME. bison-1.18bin.tar.Z This is the latest GNU Bison (a yacc replacement). fileutl-3.2bin.tar.Z This is the latest GNU FileUtilities release. This file contains the following utilities: chgrp, chown, chmod, cp, dd, du, install, ln, ls, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mv, rm, rmdir, and touch. These file are essentially straight GNU versions. If Linux needs special versions of these files, please send me e-mail and explain. They worked fine in my limited tests. gawk-2.13.2bin.tar.Z This is the latest GNU Gawk (an awk replacement). shutil-1.6bin.tar.Z This is the latest GNU ShellUtilities release. This file contains the following utilities: basename, date, dirname, env, expr, groups, id, logname, pathchk, printenv, printf, sleep, tee, test, tty, whoami, yes, uname, nice, nohup. Again, please send e-mail if Linux needs special versions of these tools (perhaps for the tty stuff?). They worked fine in my limited tests. More GNU utilites are on the way. . . -- Rik Faith: faith@cs.unc.edu Paradox is the Question of Chaos.
From: faith@cs.unc.edu (Rik Faith) Subject: Recent uploads Date: 15 Jun 92 13:11:53 GMT Here is a synopsis of my current uploads: the most recent uploads are listed first. Note that some of last weeks uploads (i.e., gawk) fixed bugs in the currently ftp'able versions. Please get the latest versions of the utilities that you use. Soon, the binaries will be re-compiled for the ABC Release, but I wanted to make static versions available as soon as possible. Please send bug reports to me (faith@cs.unc.edu). All binaries are linked static with gcc 2.11c. All bin.tar.Z files contain README.linux, README, COPYING, and other informational files in addition to stripped binaries and *MAN PAGES* ready to install into /usr. The binaries are available from: banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/Incoming and tsx-11.mit.edu The sources are available from: banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/ABC-Release/src/usr.bin and tsx-11.mit.edu NOTE: There may be a delay getting these files from tsx-11.mit.edu, but on banjo they should be available immediately. Today's uploads: groff-1.05bin.tar.Z groff-1.05src.tar.Z This is the latest GNU groff (a nroff replacement). This file contains the following utilities: addftinfo, afmtodit, geqn, gindxbib, glookbib, gpic, grefer, grodvi, groff, grog, grops, grotty, gsoelim, gtbl, gtroff, lkbib, pfbtops, psbb, tfmtodit. The following macro packages are included: man, mandoc, mdoc, ms, me, mm, mmse, mps, mpspic, mpsatk, mtty, mdvi, and mpic. Drivers for ascii, postscript, and dvi are included. man-1.1a.bin.tar.Z man-1.1a.src.tar.Z This is John Eaton's latest man package. It include man, apropos, whatis, and manpath. It also includes my makewhatis program. This man package is written primarily in C and does not require perl. (It does require groff, gawk, and a few other things--see the README.linux file for lots of details.) Last week's uploads: bison-1.18bin.tar.Z bison-1.18src.tar.Z This is the latest GNU Bison (a yacc replacement). fileutl-3.2bin.tar.Z fileutl-3.2src.tar.Z This is the latest GNU FileUtilities release.

They worked fine in my limited tests. txtutl-1.3bin.tar.Z txtutl-1.3src.tar.Z This is the latest GNU TextUtilities release. This file contains the following utilities: cat, cmp, comm, csplit, cut, expand, fold, head, join, nl, paste, pr, sort, split, sum, tac, tail, tr, unexpand, uniq, wc. -- Rik Faith: faith@cs.unc.edu
From: faith@cs.unc.edu (Rik Faith) Subject: Announcement: GNU Utilitie Recompiled with gcc 2.2.2 Date: 5 Jul 92 14:46:31 GMT Here is a synopsis of my new uploads, as of Sun Jul 5 09:11:30 1992 Bug reports and comments to: faith@cs.unc.edu *bin.tar.Z: linked static with gcc 2.2.2 (release version) under 0.96b.pl2 contain README.linux, README, COPYING, and other information contain *MAN PAGES* (even for diff!) may contain info files (bison and gawk) ready to 'tar zpxvf' into /usr NOTE: You will need 0.96b.pl2 OR ABOVE to run these reliably! *src.tar.Z: source, modified for Linux. Because of people's suggestions regarding my previous uploads, I've made sure that instructions for compiling are present in the README.linux file. In general, you do a ./configure and then a make. I use GNU make for everything. I have /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash (don't use ash--it won't work). Some utilities require other utilities to build (like gawk needs bison to build, and bison uses gawk to install :-). The appropriate utilities were compiled with -DST_BLOCKS_MISSING, so they will run under 0.96b.pl2. I'll make new versions that use the 0.96c st_blocks support in a week or so. README.linux: These files, contained in both the binary and source tar.Z files, contain instructions, comments, locations of current and original source, and complete cdiffs against the original sources. The binaries are available from: banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/Incoming (now) and tsx-11.mit.edu (later) The sources are available from: banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/ABC-Release/src/usr.bin (now) and tsx-11.mit.edu (later) Everything is available right now from ftp.cs.unc.edu:/pub/faith/uploads, but these will be there for a limited time only. Note that there are also *sbin.tar.Z files in this directory. They are identical to the *bin.tar.Z files, but were linked *dynamic*. THESE ARE EXPEIMENTAL AND WILL *NOT* BE SUPPORTED. They require the gcc 2.2.2 shared libraries, and won't work with anything else! utila-1.0bin.tar.Z utila-1.0src.tar.Z This is a random collection of NET-2 source code, including: banner, cal, col, colcrt, colrm, column, false, hexdump, od, strings (the version that was on tsx-11 has a bug), true, ul, uuencode, uudecode, and whereis. uuencode/uudecode have not been extensively tested, so please don't rely on them until you have more confidence in them. Please send me bug reports! NOTE: *STRINGS* AND *OD* ARE HERE! bison-1.18Bbin.tar.Z bison-1.18Bsrc.tar.Z This is the latest GNU Bison (a yacc replacement). Has info files. diff-1.15Bbin.tar.Z diff-1.15Bsrc.tar.Z This is the latest GNU Diff and Diff3. I hacked together some man pages from the 4.3bsd-reno (NET-2?) distribution and the FSF README file. The man pages aren't pretty, but they seem to have all the information. fileutl-3.2Bbin.tar.Z fileutl-3.2Bsrc.tar.Z This is the latest GNU FileUtilities release. This file contains the following utilities: chgrp, chown, chmod, cp, d, dd, df, dir, du, install, ln, ls, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mv, rm, rmdir, touch, v, and vdir. stty is still missing, BUT DF IS HERE! find-3.6Bbin.tar.Z find-3.6Bsrc.tar.Z This is the latest GNU Find, including find, locate, and xargs. The support for locate (updatedb) is also included (with a patch to fix the behavior of tail). gawk-2.13.2Bbin.tar.Z gawk-2.13.2Bsrc.tar.Z This is the latest GNU Gawk (an awk replacement). Because of a bug in the gcc 2.2.2 libraries, extra 0's are sometimes printed (i.e., 400.00 is printed at 400.0000). This should be corrected in a future release. Info files are included. groff-1.05Bbin.tar.Z groff-1.05Bsrc.tar.Z This is the latest GNU groff (a nroff replacement). This file contains the following utilities: addftinfo, afmtodit, geqn, gindxbib, glookbib, gpic, grefer, grodvi, groff, grog, grops, grotty, gsoelim, gtbl, gtroff, lkbib, pfbtops, psbb, tfmtodit. The following macro packages are included: man, mandoc, mdoc, ms, me, mm, mmse, mps, mpspic, mpsatk, mtty, mdvi, and mpic. Drivers for ascii, postscript, and dvi are included. [For groff-1.05Bbin.tar.Z, the *old* mdoc macros were deleted so that the tar file would be able to fit on a HD floppy disk.] shutl-1.6Bbin.tar.Z shutl-1.6Bsrc.tar.Z This is the latest GNU ShellUtilities release. This file contains the following utilities: [, basename, date, dirname, env, expr, groups, id, logname, nice, nohup, pathchk, printenv, printf, sleep, tee, test, tty, uname, whoami, yes. txtutl-1.3Bbin.tar.Z txtutl-1.3Bsrc.tar.Z This is the latest GNU TextUtilities release.
