- == OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE HP PATCH DESCRIPTIONS MAILING LIST ==
-
- This is the official announcement of the "HP Patch Descriptions Mailing
- List". In short, the purpose of the mailing list is this:
-
- 1. If somebody receives a patch from HP, he/she can post the *description* of
- that patch to the mailing list.
- 2. Other members now know that a patch exists and can ask HP for "patch xxxx"
- if they think they have a problem .
- 3. The patches itself are *never* posted!!!!!!!!
- 4. This list only exists as long as HP itself doesn't supply a list of
- available patches.
-
- To subscribe, send e-mail to:
- hpux-patch-request@cv.ruu.nl
- PLEASE! Include your e-mail address in the message. Not all mailers generate
- proper return addresses.
- Problems, questions, suggestions and the like should go to this address too.
-
- To reach all members of the list, send e-mail to:
- hpux-patch@cv.ruu.nl
- This is what you might want to do if you receive a new patch :-)
-
- To ease searching for a patch to a specific problem, I've started to write a
- set of tools which I loosely call "pltools". Currently, there'a one perl-script,
- called plfind, that searches through an unofficial list of patch descriptions
- according to user supplied queries. Updates to this list and to the tools are
- posted on a semi-regular base. Also, each new member of the list receives the
- current distribution upon subscription.
-
- Greg Cagle <greg_cagle@mentorg.com> has added a reference to this mailing list
- in his Frequently Asked Questions for HP.
