JAC have no intention of upgrading from RH9 in the near future so if
/stardev becomes incompatible with RH9 in the next week we wil not be able
to do any tests at the JAC. I'm really surprised that RH9 is being dropped
so quickly. Also, I have not spoken to a single person that will be
switching to RHEL, we are looking at White Box Linux.
Of course, if everything was in CVS we would build a local copy and test
that instead :-)
It sounds like you are saying that our only option to run the next
Starlink release is to rsync all the sources and take copies of your
nightly build scripts. Is that system all documented?
