Linux, GNU and Emacs 19.31

1996-05-30 Thread Rick Macdonald
Someone recently posted a long patch file to fix the spelling of Linux in Emacs 19.31. Well, I just had a look and it is not a spelling mistake: it is quite intentional. "Lignux" is GNU's new short name for a "Linux-based GNU system". I have quoted below the file "emacs-19.31/etc/LINUX-GNU" from t

How to handle new packages

1996-05-30 Thread Steve Preston
As I understand dselect, it looks at the Packages file to determine the list of packages, their dependencies, and whatever else. Suppose I want to upgrade a single package. I grab the .deb file. But now what? The Packages file doesn't know about the new package. I know I could install it using

We're going to build another kernel with an updated device driver. That will probably fix this problem. Thanks Bruce -- Clinton isn't perfect, but I like him a whole lot more than Dole. Bruce Perens AB6YM [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.hams.com/

1996-05-30 Thread Farzad FARID
I know the updated packages are all uploaded in the incoming directory of master.debian.org but since that date they never show up in the 'unstable' directory. Why? I use a local mirror with NFS to do my testings. Not having an up-to-date hierarchy and Packages file makes things a bit harder.
