Currently found in the Companion, but most are variably downrev. > - GNU fileutils 4.1 > (Don't remember which tools exactly, "install" is definitely one of > them, possibly the only one.) fileutils is gone; you probably want coreutils, which is also in the Companion (and fairly current; we have 5.93). > - GNU flex 2.5.27 2.5.4 is in SFW. > - GNU bison-1.875 This exact version is already in SFW. > - GNU diffutils 2.8.1 This exact version is in the Companion. > - Apache ant 1.6.1 1.5.4 is in SFW. An upgrade would be nice, and might even help us get rid of some horrid old JDK 1.2.2 packages needed for the SFW build. > - subversion 1.2.3 I just saw some traffic go by about adding 1.3.0 to SFW. So this doesn't look like a difficult problem to solve. You have two components to update in SFW, and a handful of small projects to move some others from the Companion to SFW. Getting /usr/gnu ARC'd first is probably critical, since I'm sure you'll say it's not helpful to have this stuff even if it's in /usr/bin (not /usr/sfw/bin) if the names are prefixed. > Newer versions may be available since. Ahh, but are they compatible with the ones you're using now? ;-) -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
