Changes include:
Added new dvt command, which allows you to open xterms to multiple hosts
and control them all via one input window.
Added new jsh command, which allows better job scheduling specifically
designed for parallel compiling.
Multiple bugfixes and enhancements. Much much faster execution.
says to use type time_t for ctime(3).
- Fix some format strings for 64 bit systems.
- use '?=' instead of '='when setting the command used for rsh/ssh so the
user can set it in mk.conf (PVM_SSH).
you can do something like:
make CC="gcc -pipe" PKG_FC="f77 -pipe" CFLAGS="-Wformat -g" FFLAGS="-g"
and still have pvm compile correctly.
Addresses PR pkg/12949 submitted by Thor Simon <tls@cs.stevens-tech.edu>.
Add PLIST.java (contains additional installed files if a javac is
present during build).
Modify Makefile to take the possible presence of a Java compiler
into account.
Convert most MESSAGE files to new syntax (${VARIABLE} gets replaced,
not @VARIABLE@, nor @@VARIABLE@@).
By default, substitutions are done for LOCALBASE, PKGNAME, PREFIX,
X11BASE, X11PREFIX; additional patterns can be added via MESSAGE_SUBST.
Clean up some packages while I'm there; add RCS tags to most MESSAGEs.
Remove some uninteresting MESSAGEs.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
of the individual source files making a summary difficult. Of note though is
they have incorporated quite a number of the patches from our 3.4.2 package
hence the removal of 22 (!) patches.
-Add USE_FORTRAN to the package Makefile for correct handling of the
required fortran compiler.
-Fix the .m4 files which control how fortran symbols are handled.
-Rework package to use a different PVM_ARCH for each MACHINE_ARCH. As
opposed to a single PVM_ARCH. This addresses PR pkg/6890 (Thanks to
Ignatios Souvatzis for the PR).
-Rework package to install missing programs including: pvmgetarch, aimk
debugger, debugger2, and the configuration stubs (*.def, *.m4). This
address part of PR pkg/6924 (Thanks to Ignatios Souvatzis for the PR).
-Rework package to maintain the normal pvm3 directory layout so that only
one variable (PVM_ROOT) has to be set to a non-traditional value. This
address the remainder of PR pkg/6924 (Thanks again Ig!).
Fixes a few bugs, makes it more portable to
other operating systems, gives about 20% speedup in command processing,
adds SIGINT processing to give up on the current node, formats output
much nicer, makes pdf work on more operating systems, and other
fine enhancements.
