Boy that will be a big project. ( as if it isn't already ;-)
Can't say as I have a bug report, But maybe a question.
Background:
I have the gated-3_6Alpha2 sources & am running an Slackware
3.0.0(1.2.1?) system hand upgraded to 2.0.17 & the patches from
ftp.redhat.com:/gated/.
When I un-tar the gated srcs it creates a dir gated-3_6Alpha2
when I apply the patch to the src's From inside the gated* dir
patch starts yelling at me to provide the names of each of the
files to be patched.
If I create a NEW un-tared gated directory & apply the patches
from the dir that has gated-3_6Alpha2 in it, I get the
Linux-readme & the *.config in this dir & not the gated dir.
Neither seems to matter as the 'make config' shows some items
missing that it seems to want, one being 'kvm.c' which if my
research is correct is only available under SunOS/Slowaris .
If I ignore those missing items & do a 'make' I get compilation
errors .
My Real question seems to be ARE the patches from ftp.redhat.com
-only- for the redhat distribution ?

I have been compiling Bind-4.8 thru present 4.9.4p1 & just
found that there wasn't a way to make the '*resolv*'(can't
remember name) to be compiled ELf-Shared until "Tamas Nyitrai"
provide a set to myself & hopefully by now to "Paul Vixie" the
Bind maintainer.
The question I asked was valid based on that information.
My next question is does the patched version of gated use all
the Shared libraries ?
