[FYI] cvsup on glibc2.3 systems (e.g. RedHat 9)

[Dimitrie O. Paun]

Folks,

As I've reported earlier on the list, cvsup compiled for
glibc 2.x (x < 3) systems does not work on the new glibc2.3
systems, such as RedHat 9, or Mandrake 9.1, due to the
threading changes.

I've been looking all over the net for a precompiled binary
of cvsup that works on these new systems, as cvsup is written
in Modula 3, which is a bitch to setup.

Finally I gave up and did the work myself. I've created a
complete binary package which can be download from:

    http://www.dssd.ca/wine/cvsup-glibc2.3.tar.gz

Note that the binaries are not small as they are statically
linked, but they should work on all glibc2.3 system.

The archive contains the following files:

cvsup-glibc2.3/bin/cvpasswd
cvsup-glibc2.3/bin/cvsup
cvsup-glibc2.3/sbin/cvsupd
cvsup-glibc2.3/man/man1/cvpasswd.1
cvsup-glibc2.3/man/man1/cvsup.1
cvsup-glibc2.3/man/man8/cvsupd.8

Simply copy them to the /usr/local prefix. They are compiled 
to go to /usr/local, they may work even if copied in /usr,
but I haven't tried that.

Enjoy!
