- 3. _C_h_a_n_g_e_s__a_n_d__A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_s
-
- The following are the most significant changes that have
- been made between version 1.0 and 1.3 inst_dev.
-
- +o Added tooltalk interface so RapidApp can invoke swpkg.
-
- +o Now sharing mach table parsing routines with
- inst/swmgr. New table includes marketing model names,
- which swpkg displays in the Hardware Attributes section
- of the Add Attributes view.
-
- +o Introduced View->SGI Board Names menu item to show/hide
- internal board names in addition to marketing names.
-
- +o Added removeop idb attribute. Just like postops, except
- executed after a file is removed. Removeops are only
- executed when a subsystem is removed (not during an
- upgrade.)
-
- +o Added cutpoint idb attribute. Developer can designate a
- directory as a suggested cutpoint for relocating to a
- secondardy disk drive, in order to manage disk space.
- See swmgr movedir command.
-
- +o Added stripdso idb attribute. Developer can designate
- dynamic shared object file be stripped of symbolic
- information.
-
- +o Added norqs idb attribute. By default, gendist adds
- 'needrqs' to all Elf object files. This attribute
- tells gendist to leave this off. As a result, swmgr or
- inst will not flag the file for requickstarting. See
- rqsall(1).
-
- +o Now checking for unfound idb entries *before* building
- new items list (bolding browser entries). This avoids
- bolding entries when there's no hope of successfully
- adding them.
-
- +o No longer generating bogus 'maint' records at the end
- of spec files. Removed 'maint' toggle from Build
- Product view.
-
- +o Made Source Root Directory validity checking more
- intelligent. Made low level routines indicate how many
- entries are not found with prepend and strip
- operations, so best case can be used in error
- reporting. Also looking for match after resolving
- symbolic links.

-
-
- +o Made it possible to "Undo Last Operation" through
- Source Root Directory change.
-
- +o Now checking Description text fields for unquoted
- blanks or mismatched quotes, and presenting warning
- dialog. The build operation would otherwise fail with
- "unrecognized product component" (cryptic gendist
- message).
-
- +o Fixed use of freed memory bug (identified by dbmalloc).
- Purify caught some memory not being freed.
-
- +o Added a "none" spec detail form for when no nodes exist
- in the graph. It consists of a label telling the user
- to press Add or use the File pulldown to create nodes.
- Also added a dialog with a similiar message that the
- user sees when Assign is pressed and a node is not
- selected.
-
- +o Added books image and userguide subsystem to default
- spec graph.
-
- +o Deallocating pixmaps that were allocated, when not all
- could be allocated (and shifting to labels instead) in
- creating view tab panel.
-
- +o Added support for creating "patch products".
