X-Authentication-Warning: delorie.com: mail set sender to djgpp-bounces using -f Message-Id: <201603121436.u2CEae6N025603@delorie.com> Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2016 15:38:59 +0100 From: "Juan Manuel Guerrero (juan DOT guerrero AT gmx DOT de) [via djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com]" To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU ed 1.13 uploaded. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com This is a port of GNU ed 1.13 to MSDOS/DJGPP. GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell scripts. A restricted version of ed, red, can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. DJGPP specific changes. ======================= All the changes done to the original distribution are documented in the diffs file and located together with all the files needed to configure the package (config.bat, config.sed, config.site, etc.) in the /djgpp subdir. The DJGPP specific functionality of this port is the same than the previous port. This port does not support dos-style (backslash) file names in the ed scripts because the backslash character is used as the escape character by ed. This is well known from the old port too. For DJGPP specific issues please read carefully the /djgpp/readme file, especially the section `Known bugsŽ. Please note that all test concerning piping will fail. There is no way to solve this issue. User visible changes (from NEWS): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in version 1.13: A memory leak and a resource leak (file not closed on error) have been fixed. (Both issues were reported by Cédric Picard). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to recompile the package, run the command: make Install the products running the command: make install It should be noted that the test suite in this package does not work. As usual I have configured and produced the binaries using stock djdev203. If you want to reconfigure and recompile from scratch run the commands: make distclean djgpp\config make make install These command sequence will produce and install the binaries, info docs and unformated man pages in the djgpp installation tree defined by /den/env/DJDIR The port has been compiled using djdev205 and consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2016-03-09): ed 1.13 binary, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-113b.zip ed 1.13 dvi, html, ps and pdf format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-113d.zip ed 1.13 source: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-113s.zip Send ed specific bug reports to .
