This is a different bug that the one I submitted ~45 minutes ago
System name: the-other-woman
Type and version: SPARC/Classic 7.6Q (9 update(s) to same version)
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
mkserv discuss
What's wrong:
well, discuss doesn't list sun4 as a platform, not a big
deal; private suns aren't really supported yet.
so:
the-other-woman:~/mkserv: cp -p /mit/mkserv/services/7.6/discuss.* ~/mkserv/
the-other-woman:~/mkserv: ed ~/mkserv/discuss.add
1087
/Plat/
# $Platforms: decmips,rt,vax,rsaix$
s/\$$/,sun4$/p
# $Platforms: decmips,rt,vax,rsaix,sun4$
w
1092
q
the-other-woman# mkserv jweiss:/mit/jweiss/mkserv discuss
The following services could not be found:
discuss
I can only assume it's finding the discuss in
/mit/mkserv/services/7.6, deciding it can't be run on the sun and
quitting.
What should have happened:
It should have followed the path given to discuss.add, and
used that on. Probably before looking in /mit/mkserv, but, I
would settle for afterwards.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Upon reflection, I don't think I've seen documentation for the
locker:path syntax for finding a mkserv script anywhere except
epeisach:/dev/brain.
