Well, not really. Here ya go: |

http://ftp.gcu-squad.org/tuhs/PDP-11/Distributions/research/Henry_Spencer_v7/ |
| 46 |

|

|
|
The original Unix v7 sources for the PDP11. Including 'sh' and 'cc'. |
| 48 |
|
|
|
| 49 |
|
|
There's also a binary distribution floating around on the net, |
| 50 |
|
|
and a PDP11 emulator. I've booted Unix v7 (from 1979!) and recompiled |
| 51 |
|
|
some utilities, talk about retro computing! |
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
Ah, at the same site. See |

Anybody want to do a Debian/V7 ? ;) |

Ofcourse, all this stuff predates posix by at least a decade. |

Wrong. Caldera (who now own Unix), have released the sources of old |
| 65 |

|
unices under a BSD-style license (the one with advertising clause) |

|
|
Perhaps you're updating with 'apt-get update' rather than 'dselect |
| 97 |
|
|
update', and then using some tool (like 'dpkg -p' or dselect) that |
| 98 |
|
|
expects dpkg's available database to be up-to-date? |

* GIF and UNISYS issue |
| 134 |
|
|
GIMP issues are already answered but let me draw your attention to the |
| 135 |
|
|
UNISYS issue. |

I never used it but there are utilities called ungif in Debian. That |
| 140 |
|
|
may be what you want :) |
| 141 |
|
|
|
| 142 |
|
|
$ apt-cache search ungif |
| 143 |
|
|
|
| 144 |
|
|
With this, you can use GIF like the Debian website :-) |
| 145 |
|
|
(We all know the GNU site does not like using these non-LZW GIFs |
| 146 |
|
|
either.) |

Update can be done by anyone who has CVS write access. |
| 182 |
|
|
Drop me an e-mail with your sourceforge account name. I will |
| 183 |
|
|
add you to CVS write access. Initial file tree will be built by me. |
| 184 |
|
|
|
| 185 |
|
|
Look into documentation of boot-floppies and learn how to use CVS. |
| 186 |
|
|
|
| 187 |
|
|
If you take over, get permission from previous person by mail. |
| 188 |
|
|
Using your own branch for frequent update if you are not maintainer |
| 189 |
|
|
of that tree. All communication shall be done through: |
| 190 |
|
|
|
| 191 |
|
|
qref-developers@lists.sourceforge.net |
| 192 |
|
|
|
| 193 |
|
|
This is a very loose lock and supposedly relies on respect. |
| 194 |
|
|
|
| 195 |
|
|
Once debian-packages are made, BTS shall be used as much as possible. |
| 196 |
|
|
|
| 197 |
|
|
Eventually, I want to move to the DDP CVS site but not yet. |
| 198 |
|
|
CVS archive at sourceforge is open to everyone. |
