Hi, you're receiving this mail because you have bits on one of the
lockers which needs updating because the Athena release has "glue"
symlinks pointing to it which won't work without certain changes.
(You might also be getting this mail because I cc'd it to
release-team.)

The following changes need to be made:

	* help (cfields): We need a symlink arch/sun4x_55 -> sun4m_54.
		We also need a symlink help -> olh in arch/sun4m_54
		and arch/sgi_53.

	* olc-stock (olc-stock, olc_adm): We need a symlink
		arch/sun4x_55 -> sun4m_54.

	* sis (cscrib, thorne, sturner, hschan): We need the arch
		directory set up.  Since the registrar's office may
		not be familiar with the new locker set up (see "man
		lockers" on an Athena machine), here are some commands
		which should do what's needed:

		attach sis
		cd /mit/sis
		mkdir arch arch/sgi_53 arch/sun4m_54
		ln -s sun4x_55 arch/sun4m_54
		ln -s ../../sgibin arch/sgi_53/bin
		ln -s ../../sun4bin arch/sun4m_54/bin

	* /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/config/tellme (afsreq): We need a
		symlink arch/sun4x_55 -> sun4m_54.

	* xmit (facdev, miki): We need a symlink arch/sun4x_55 ->
		sun4m_54.  I guess xinfo hasn't ever worked on the
		SGIs.

	* afsuser (afsdev): We need a set of Solaris 2.5 binaries,
		which requires getting them tested and, possibly,
		built from source.  (We should probably convene a
		meeting to decide if we still want to be building
		client binaries since we no longer have any local
		source changes.)
