Right now the release has "glue" to the following lockers:
mkserv
modem (kermit)
olc-stock (olc_answers, program is olc-browser in locker)
sis
techinfo (techinfo, xtechinfo)
pgp (verify-message)
xmit (xinfo)
sunsoft (cc)
sunsoft (f77)
moira (blanche, mailmaint, moira, namespace, mrcheck, chfn,
chpobox, chsh, userreg, addusr)
help (help, olh)
One of the principles I'm trying to get the build system to obey is
that it should depend only on the source tree, not on random parts of
the athena cell. So running "athdir" at build time is a lose.
Therefore, I want all of the above lockers to be using the standard
locker layout by the time of the 8.1 release.
attach-and-add scripts will read
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -x /mit/LOCKERNAME ]; then
attach -q LOCKERNAME
fi
/mit/LOCKERNAME/arch/SYSNAME/bin/PROGRAMNAME
where LOCKERNAME, SYSNAME, and PROGRAMNAME are substituted in at
compile time.
Right now, olc-stock, techinfo, pgp, sunsoft, moira, and help are all
set for this to work. That means mkserv, modem, sis, and xmit need to
be updated to the new locker layout before the 8.1 release.
