You can find out about it in the file osu-cis!~/ls-lR.Z The Computer and Information Science Department of the Ohio State University provides Free Software Foundation GNU products (and others) via UUCP only as a redistribution service. Anything found here is only and exactly as it would be found on the indicated Internet hosts, were one to acquire it via anonymous FTP (like we did); or else saved it as it flowed past on the Usenet source distribution newsgroups. OSU CIS takes no responsibility for the contents of any of the distributions described in this message. See the Distribution document (emacs/etc/DISTRIB when you unpack and build Emacs) and the GNU Emacs General Public License (emacs/etc/COPYING, similarly). Much of the GNU software is in beta-test. For a list of the current statuses (stati?), ask gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu for a copy of the latest FSF order form. How to reach osu-cis via uucp =============================== Here is a set of L.sys or Systems file lines suitable for osu-cis: # # Micom switch 2400 bps # osu-cis Any ACU 2400 1-614-292-3124 "" \r\c Name? osu-cis RETURN \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon # # Micom switch 1200 bps # osu-cis Any ACU 1200 1-614-292-3112 "" \r\c Name? osu-cis RETURN \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon Modify as appropriate for your site, of course, to deal with your local telephone system. There is no limit concerning what hours of the day you may call. The new osu-cis has ten lines on the Micom switch that all work very well, so the directly-connected 1200bps and 2400bps modems have been retired. Where the files are =================== Most items exist on osu-cis for distribution purposes in compressed tar form, exactly what you find on the indicated hosts in the specified origin files. Most items are cut into pieces for the sake of uucp sanity. This separation helps if your uucp session fails midway through a conversation; you need restart only with the part that failed, rather than the whole beast. The pieces are typically named with a root word, followed by letter pairs like "aa" and "bj," meaning that the pieces are all named with the root word, followed by a dash and the suffixes indicated, using the letters inclusive between the two limits. All pieces but the last are 100,000 bytes long, and the fragmentary last piece has some smaller size. The instruction listings below are alphabetized as in the summary block above. Compress -------- Source is comp.sources.unix Volume 2, Issues 27, 28, and 29, and we redistribute it here as a convenience to GNU-getters who might not have it otherwise. Root is ~/compress/ and consists of the following (uncompressed) `shar' archives: compress4.0.0 4,456 compress4.0.1 50,346 compress4.0.2 33,203 GNU /bin Utilities ------------------ Source is prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/binutils.tar.Z as of 5 Apr.

File is ~/gnu/bison/bison.tar.Z, size is 219,145 bytes. GNU C++ Compiler ---------------- Source is yahi.stanford.edu:pub/g++-1.34.2.tar.Z as of 4 Apr. Root is ~/gnu/g++/1.34.2/g++-1.34.2.tar.Z-part-??, pieces aa-ai [9 pieces]. Part -ai is 54,593 bytes long. Diffs available are ~/gnu/g++/ g++-1.34.0-1.34.1.diffs.Z 22,594 bytes g++-1.34.1-1.34.2.diffs.Z 244,435 GNU C++ Debugger ---------------- Source is prep.ai.mit.edu:/u/emacs/gdb+.tar-2.8.1.Z as of 16 Dec. Root is ~/gnu/g++/gdb+.tar-2.8.1.Z-part-??, parts aa-af [6 pieces]. Part -af is 65,400 bytes long. GNU C++ Library --------------- Source is prep.ai.mit.edu:/u/emacs/libg++-1.34.0.tar.Z as of 9 Mar.

There are some diff files available, previous to and sometimes beyond the current osu-cis `base' gcc distribution (1.35 now). Diffs available are: Diffs available are ~/gnu/gcc/ gcc.diff-1.30-1.31.Z 63,593 gcc.diff-1.31-1.32.Z 204,325 gcc.diff-1.32-1.33.Z 306,702 gcc.diff-1.33-1.34.Z 208,826 gcc.diff-1.34-1.35.Z 377,177 GCC requires Bison, since it uses a feature (@n) of Bison that's not in Yacc. Remember to pick that up too - see the instructions above. GDB, the GNU Debugger for C, is available separately - see above. Current releases of gcc comment (in the source) that a version of Bison not older than Sep 8 1988 is required for correct operation. Such a version is now in place on osu-cis. I have been asked to continue to emphasize that "although ... GCC is heading toward reliability, it is still a test release that generates a few new bug reports a week... Generally people shouldn't yet use GCC except to help debug it, or if they are interested in porting it or writing new front ends for it, until it becomes more stable." The compiler will be considered non-beta when it has successfully produced a full running UNIX system from sources. GNU Chess --------- Source is venera.isi.edu:pub/gnuchess.tar.Z as of 20 Feb.

What to do with it all - building Emacs as an example ====================== Pick a night when you can afford to be at the office late. {:-)} Arrange to have the files uucp'd to your site. Copying the complete set of Emacs slices will take on the order of 5 hours at 2400 bps, correspondingly more at 1200. Your mileage will definitely vary, by as much as 20% on either side of that (intentionally vague) estimate. By way of comparison, a transfer of Emacs 18.50 at 2400bps to Portland, Oregon was reported to cost about $42.00, weekend rates. If you successfully UUCP anything from osu-cis, please send us mail describing any problems you had, and (if possible) an estimate of how long it took you and at what baud rate, so that we can keep these figures up to date. Note: Do not request the files to be transferred using a command like % uucp osu-cis!~/gnu/emacs/18.54/edist\* /some/local/directory because that won't work. That will queue up a short request via *uux* to run a uucp command on osu-cis; it will fail for security reasons. You must issue many uucp commands: one for each file in each distribution you want, plus one for each diff file you want. They will all get queued and executed in as few UUCP connections as possible. After the files have all showed up, you should extract the full distribution of GNU Emacs thusly: cat edist.tar-18.54.Z-part-?? | zcat | tar xvf - Voila`, you have GNU Emacs, ready to build and cause you both joy and pain for the rest of your life. The other stuff available here is unpacked similarly. The `zcat' mentioned above is part of the `compress' distribution, which you will have to get if you don't have it yet. Everything that we distribute (except `compress' itself) is compressed with a 16-bit Lempel-Ziv scheme. Some computers (notably those based on Intel family microprocessors) are unable for memory segmentation reasons to handle compression with a scheme higher than 12 bits. Since we can't afford the space and time to provide both 12- and 16-bit distributions via this mechanism, if you need things in a 12-bit compression format, you will need to find a cooperative friend with a full 32-bit machine to uncompress the distribution, and possibly recompress it for you in 12-bit format. Miscellany ========== This file of instructions exists as the file ~/GNU.how-to-get, and is updated as new distributions and diffs come out and are made available. This happens much more frequently than the full set of instructions are posted to comp.sources.d, so get it first to be sure what you are getting later in each night's UUCP transfer. Unfortunately, the worst case might be that (e.g.) if you only get part of a full distribution one night and a new version arrives during the day, you might get some of the part-*s for the old version and not know that the rest of your part-*s are from the new one. Get this file to be sure. There's another file called ~/ls-lR.Z that contains the output of executing the comand `ls -lR' at the top level of the UUCP distribution tree. Lots of other stuff is available besides the most popular stuff that's listed here. That file is updated daily at around 3:00am Eastern time, so you may want to get it occasionally to keep up to date. People often have problems with uucp. Feel free to write us some mail; we'll be happy to help as much as we can, though that is usually limited by distance and mail turnaround time.
