Err - then you better document that beta 7 will not work on the Alpha
unless something is done. (I consider modifying util/db2/hash/dbm.c
an option - but make sure you include ndbm.h not db-ndbm.h!)
Well, I warned Marc that the schedule was extremely --- perhaps too --
tight. (The problem is that Cygnus made comments regarding their Q3
release which they have to deliver by 7/31, and they can't ship the new
admin code before we do. I'd rather not screw over Cygnus if we can
avoid it, but shipping a quality Beta 7 takes precedence.)
The baseline requirements for Beta 7 was documentation, and that we
didn't lose functionality from Beta 6. Massive loss in portability is
something I'd consider a functionality loss....
If the kludge isn't too horrible to stablize the tree in time for this
Friday, I'm willing to consider this --- this incluldes making the
change that we did in util/berk_db so that the we can deal with the
struct datum sizing issue. Hopefully the the shared library support
won't be too hard to fix either.
