OS/2 Basically you need always know the CVS server repositorys root directory, login name, password and the module you want to checkout. In addition it is possible to checkout "old" version by using tag. (This requires that developers have desired to nominate some situation in the repository with a tag when they have feelt that that version is good enought) There can be two kind of access rights to repository. - read only - read and write (= commit rights) But if you have cvs client installed you can HEAD (newest developer version) from the smartmontools by using following commands. cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smartmontools login (when prompted for a password, just press Enter) cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smartmontools co sm5 - "co sm5" means that select module sm5 from the CVS repository root which is cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smartmontools -d option means that download. -"co -r RELEASE_5_1_16 sm5" would mean that download version tagged previously wit a name "RELEASE_5_1_16" from the sm5 module. (so this would download older version that developers has espicially marked to repository) That CVS checkout information is also available in the the http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ But if you do not have cvs client, ask me so that I can download and zip it into my http server.

As far as the WGET build goes it did succeed in building and installing the target, but since the Makefile or Makefile.in know nothing about EXEEXT, no wget.exe gets created and the final manual step of running EMXBIND is necessary.

I'm reluctant to go through a whole subdirectory tree which may contain hundereds of files and unset the R flag just for the sake of one or two files and would prefer it if PATCH could do this.

ODBC support is available through the unixODBC for OS/2 libraries also available at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu I have placed a build of postgreSQL v8.0 RC5 on Hobbes. New things for 8.0 rc5 - updated to 8.0 rc5 code level - custom LIBC06 build to resolve some LIBC problems Fixes for rc5 - built with a custom LIBC06B3 that corrects the problem with loading DLLs into a fork() process - previous workaround has been removed. This version of LIBC06 also has a tentative fix for the signal processing problem that would hang the database engine after 40 or 50 query sessions. Known problems - the conversion.sql test in the regression test series will crash the query session. This problem is worked on.
