Barring convincing argument to the contrary, I am going to back out
and/or modify commits which Derek recently made to the sipb-athena
source tree related to the one made to the top-level Imakefile:
revision 1.9
date: 1996/08/19 15:15:23; author: warlord; state: Exp; lines: +4 -3
Modified Imakefile to pass SYS_NAME down to certain Imakefiles.
This is used to determine if we're on Linux1 or Linux2
I plan to back out the change to the top-level Imakefile and modify
the lower-level Imakefiles to use ATHENA_SYS. There are two reasons
for these changes:
* We already require ATHENA_SYS to be set during the build in
various modules, so there's no need to avoid using it
directly.
* An important property of a build system is the ability to
type "make" in a subdirectory and have it work just as if
you had descended into it from above. Not all of our
modules have this property currently (because they were
based on already-broken build systems), but that's not an
excuse to break it for modules that do have it.
