Well, not really. Here ya go:
|
| 42 |
http://ftp.gcu-squad.org/tuhs/PDP-11/Distributions/research/Henry_Spencer_v7/
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
The original Unix v7 sources for the PDP11. Including 'sh' and 'cc'.
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
There's also a binary distribution floating around on the net,
|
| 47 |
and a PDP11 emulator. I've booted Unix v7 (from 1979!) and recompiled
|
| 48 |
some utilities, talk about retro computing!
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Ah, at the same site. See
|
| 51 |
http://ftp.gcu-squad.org/tuhs/PDP-11/Emulators/Supnik_2.3/
|

|
| 53 |
Anybody want to do a Debian/V7 ? ;)
|
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Ofcourse, all this stuff predates posix by at least a decade.

Wrong. Caldera (who now own Unix), have released the sources of old
|
| 62 |
unices under a BSD-style license (the one with advertising clause)
|
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Have a look at :
|
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Caldera-license.pdf
|
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
(Also look at http://www.tuhs.org/)

Note that you need to work backwards so the line numbers don't change.

|

(per Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>)
|
| 92 |
Perhaps you're updating with 'apt-get update' rather than 'dselect
|
| 93 |
update', and then using some tool (like 'dpkg -p' or dselect) that
|
| 94 |
expects dpkg's available database to be up-to-date?
|
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
* fbset for all ttys
|
| 97 |
# fbset -t 13334 144 24 29 3 136 6 -a
|
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
* two-sided and two-in-one printing of PDF
|
| 100 |
gv:
|
| 101 |
print even and odd pages
|
| 102 |
mpage
|
| 103 |
env variable set to "-bA4 -t -T -2 -Pprn0008" for double-sided A4 with
|
| 104 |
two pages to each sheet
|
| 105 |
a2ps is alternative to mpage
|
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
CUPS (per Derrick 'dman' Hudson <dman@dman.ddts.net>)
|
| 108 |
1) print to file
|
| 109 |
2) lp -o number-up=2 -o page-set=even
|
| 110 |
3) reinsert pages in printer
|
| 111 |
4) lp -o number-up=2 -o page-set=odd

* GIF and UNISYS issue
|
| 130 |
GIMP issues are already answered but let me draw your attention to the
|
| 131 |
UNISYS issue.
|
| 132 |
|
| 133 |

|
| 135 |
I never used it but there are utilities called ungif in Debian. That
|
| 136 |
may be what you want :)
|
| 137 |
|
| 138 |
$ apt-cache search ungif
|
| 139 |
|
| 140 |
With this, you can use GIF like the Debian website :-)
|
| 141 |
(We all know the GNU site does not like using these non-LZW GIFs
|
| 142 |
either.)
|
| 143 |
|

* Package split scenario (Check NM/Dev REF)
|
| 145 |
The groff split example:
|
| 146 |
Potato:
|
| 147 |
groff
|
| 148 |
Woody:
|
| 149 |
groff-base Suggests: groff, groff-x11
|
| 150 |
groff Depends: groff-base, Suggests: groff-x11
|
| 151 |
groff-x11 Depends: groff-base, Suggests: groff
|
| 152 |
|
| 153 |
* memwatch (memory test)
|
| 154 |
It is listed on the GNU site.
|
| 155 |
http://www.gnu.org/directory/devel/debug/
|

http://www.gnu.org/directory/devel/debug/memwatch.html
|
| 157 |
|
| 158 |
* digital camera = www.gphoto.org
|
| 159 |
Also note that any camera with removable media will work with Linux
|
| 160 |
through USB Mass Storage-compatible readers.
|
| 161 |
These X-fun apps needs to be summarized in separate documents.

This "qref" project in sourceforge.net is organized by

|
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
Update can be done by anyone who has CVS write access.
|
| 183 |
Drop me an e-mail with your sourceforge account name. I will
|
| 184 |
add you to CVS write access. Initial file tree will be built by me.
|
| 185 |
|
| 186 |
Look into documentation of boot-floppies and learn how to use CVS.
|
| 187 |
|
| 188 |
If you take over, get permission from previous person by mail.
|
| 189 |
Using your own branch for frequent update if you are not maintainer
|
| 190 |
of that tree. All communication shall be done through:
|
| 191 |
|
| 192 |
qref-developers@lists.sourceforge.net
|
| 193 |
|
| 194 |
This is a very loose lock and supposedly relies on respect.
|
| 195 |
|
| 196 |
Once debian-packages are made, BTS shall be used as much as possible.
|
| 197 |
|
| 198 |
Eventually, I want to move to the DDP CVS site but not yet.
|
| 199 |
CVS archive at sourceforge is open to everyone.
