Here's the latest round of questions about things about which I am not
sure in the SIPB locker. All paths are relative to /mit/sipbsrc/uus:
1. After my last message, the discuss sources in vs2 where all cleared
out and replaced with 1.4 (I think). rtpc/discuss seems to be a
copy of vs2/discuss. However, there's also an rtpc/discuss.old
directory. Can it be deleted?
2. Can et.old and dvi2ps.old be compressed and/or deleted? Are they
serving any useful purpose?
3. Can whereis.c be compressed and/or deleted and the binary removed
from the sipb locker? Where works just as well (if not better),
and it is is a shell built-in for most of Athena, and there's
/usr/ucb/whereis as well. In addition, the directories hard-coded
into the whereis sources in sipbsrc are no longer correct, so it's
no longer serving a useful purpose above the ucb whereis anyway.
What about where.c?
4. Can the sources for xman.10 be deleted?
5. Are the TODO.rtsipb, TODO.rttex, TODO.vssipb and TODO.vstex files
anywher near up-to-date? The last mod time on all of them is in
1987. Can we punt them?
6. Why is theere an empty file called FRC in rtpc?
7. Does the file apropos.sh server any useful purpose? As far as I
can tell it probably breaks more than it accomplishes, because it
invokes man with an explicit man path, rather than using MANPATH,
and therefore overrides the user's settings -- when I run apropos
from the sipb locker, it doesn't give me anything for ofiles, but
when I run man -k ofiles, I get the entry from the watchmaker
whatis since it's in my MANPATH. All of this is ditto for
whatis.sh and man.sh.
8. Can print_lw be punted?
9. Can rtpc/web2c.old be punted?
10. Can the "world" game be moved to the games locker? We don't even
have it installed right now, so I don't know if it will compiile or
run.
I guess this is about all for now. Any help will be appreciated.
