I stripped the vax, rt and decmips versions of rn and getactive (in
/usr/sipb/lib/rrn/$hosttype), and fixed the Makefile for rn to strip
them automatically on future installs (although I'll probably have to
do that again when the new rn comes out in the next couple of weeks).
On the pmax, I also stripped gftopk,mips, thesaurus, saa, xthesaurus,
and xwebster.
On the vax, I also stripped saa.
On the rt, I also stripped saa and zsh.
I wanted to update the Makefiles for thesaurus and xthesaurus so that
they stripped by default, but the Makefile doesn't have an install
rule in it. Web, please fix that; /mit/sipbsrc/src/thesaurus should
have a Makefile that knows how to descend for clean, all, depend and
install rules and subdirectories, and the subdirectory Makefiles
should have those rules as well.
Jean: I notice that you just installed "saa" in the SIPB locker. It
is a game. It belongs in the games locker, not the sipb locker. I
thought we'd gone through this before. In any case, there is no man
page for it, and it is not stripped; please install a man page, even a
minimal one created from the README file, and fix the Makefile so that
it strips things. And, when there's enough space in the games locker,
please move the program there.
I don't know why zsh wasn't stripped on the rt; the install rule in
the Makefile does strip it. It should strip properly the next time it
is installed.
We're currently at 87433 out of 90000.
Chee: We keep unstripped binaries in sipbsrc, but stripped binaries in
the sipb locker. It is possible to use a core file from a stripped
binary with the unstripped version of the same binary, so it isn't
necessary for the binaries in the sipb locker to be unstripped.
