'couple things.
Now that 1.0 is out, to what extent do we want to put it on
the new NetBSD system packs? That is, right now both
the NetBSD and Linux system packs appear to have only
/usr/athena; isn't the idea that they should be able to
hold essentially the whole OS? (or is this an Athena paradigm
that we're not following due to explicit policy decisison, or
pragmatic lack of space?).
At some point in the near future /afs/sipb/project/netbsd will
have the NetBSD 1.0 binaries (though we can do more with the
space if we just symlink to the iastate.edu cell...); also,
presumably John will be upgrading lola.
Two other points.
1) Now that there's a stable release out, I'm willing to
put together a small FAQ/procedure/inst disk for installing
NetBSD 1.0 from Athena over the 'net. Is someone else working
on this?
2) Greg mentioned that there was no one in the system:netbsd-dev
group in the sipb cell. This isn't correct, and hasn't been. At
some point in mid-October I was added to that group, and am
still there along w/ a number of people (all who are members,
presumably in gsipbbin...). I do note that pts mem alternates telling
me all the people in the group, and no one in the group, so perhaps
Greg was bitten by that bug? In any event, it seems to me perhaps
the best solution is to have the packs writable by BOTH
gsipbbin and netbsd-dev...
