Re: CVS on AIX 4.2

[Steven Rosenstein]

Hi Guy,

I would expect that the version of CVS compiled under AIX V4.3 will *not* work
under V4.2, and that you will need to compile your own if you can't find a
4.2-compiled version.  AIX V4.3 contained a lot of new and updated libraries,
and I would be very surprised if the 4.3 executable ran.  You might try it,
though; "You never know..."

Also, a good source of AIX Open Source software is the Bull site at
http://www-frec.bull.com/docs/download.htm .  They provide AIX software in
package format.  They have a whole section of packages for AIX 4.1.5 and later,
but alas no CVS in that directory.

Good luck,

Hi,

I noticed that there is a compiled version of CVS for AIX 4.3 available for
download and wanted to see if anyone would know if I could expect to run
that same version under AIX 4.2 or would you expect this to need to be
recompiled to work?
If not maybe there exists an already compiled version for AIX 4.2?


Background:
Doing development with CVS on a handful of machines and can use a W2K NT or
AIX RS6000 box to run as a CVS repository server but don't want to trust the
NT version based on recommendations we've had to avoid it.


Please reply to my email as well since I am not yet signed up for the
mailing list but will soon.
