Maintenance notes:
|
|
|
|
I am continuing to maintain the file command. I welcome your help,
|
|
but to make my life easier I'd like to request the following:
|
|
|
|
- Don't change the version numbers!
|
|
|
|
If your changes are extensive, I will have to work hard to
|
|
integrate them into my version. If you check it into SCCS locally,
|
|
the version numbers will likely be kept. IF you check it into RCS
|
|
or CVS locally, please use -k to keep the version numbers, and
|
|
please use branch deltas (1.21.1, 1.21.2, ...). If you don't do
|
|
this, I will likely be unable to use your changes; life's just too
|
|
short.
|
|
|
|
- Do not distribute changed versions.
|
|
|
|
People trying to be helpful occasionally put up their hacked versions
|
|
of the file command for FTP, then the "archie" server finds and publishes
|
|
the hacked version, and people all over the world get copies of it.
|
|
Within a day or two I am getting email from around the world
|
|
asking me why "my" file command won't compile!!! Needless to say this
|
|
detracts from the limited time I have available to work on the actual
|
|
software. Therefore I ask you again to please NOT distribute
|
|
your changed version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation.
