I checked the "p-t" meeting:
o State where Release Engineering can get the files. Provide a
list of filenames with full path specifications, or a list of
directories that should be completely copied.
Pick up everything in /mit/sipbsrc/src/dvi2ps. Update the Makefile
torefer to /usr/athena instead of /usr/sipb in several places, and you
should be all set.
Now to see if I did it correctly:
<cronos!probe> {/source/third/common/tex/dvi2ps}
463% diff dvi2ps.1 /usr/man/man1/
<cronos!probe> {/source/third/common/tex/dvi2ps}
464% diff /mit/sipbsrc/src/dvi2ps/dvi2ps.1 /usr/man/man1/
<cronos!probe> {/source/third/common/tex/dvi2ps}
465%
It seems that the version we were told to pickup was incorrect.

What were you trying to do?
Look at the man page for dvi2ps.
What's wrong:
The one installed in the release (and in
/source/third/common/tex/dvi2ps/dvi2ps.1) appears to have been
copied, with minor modifications, from the one in release 7.1.
What should have happened:
As I said in my original project submission note, the man page
which should be installed is the man page in the sipbsrc
sources, with any references to sipb paths changed to point to
the Athena paths.
The man page from 7.1 is WRONG for 7.2, because it describes
things that are no longer correct in 7.2 (or omits things that
are present in 7.2). Furthermore, I spent a LONG TIME
reformatting the man page, and I don't expect all that work to
be thrown away by installing the wrong man page.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
