8.3.26 will contain the following four athena package updates:
* Update athena-discuss package to ensure that the discuss user has a
homedir with empty krb login files, and create the discuss user before
package extraction to avoid a warning message during installation.
* Update the athena-ws package to clean up the reactivate and update
scripts in several nice ways, and fix bugs in the update script.
* Update the athena-dotfiles package to fix the default system cshrc
file to include /usr/X11R6/man and to call athdir with an absolute
path.
* Remove the following RedHat packages from the standard install list:
exmh, screen, fvwm, lpr, mtools, cvs, lynx, gimp, inews, tin, trn,
xrn, pidentd, pine, routed, elm
Because of a bug in the update script, this release won't
auto-update. I will test a mostly-automatic update procedure on the
SIPB office machine, and then post instructions. I'll take care of
making the cluster machine DTRT.
Greg and/or I will arrange for this to live properly in the dev cell
and then ask for athena cell propogation once all seems correct.
(Though as I noted, that won't be adequate for auto-update this time.)
