- 1. _P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_0_6_0_4__R_e_l_e_a_s_e__N_o_t_e
-
- This release note describes patch SG0000604 to IRIX 5.3.
-
- 1.1 _S_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d__H_a_r_d_w_a_r_e__P_l_a_t_f_o_r_m_s
-
- This patch contains bug fixes for all hardware platforms.
-
- 1.2 _S_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d__S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e__P_l_a_t_f_o_r_m_s
-
- This patch contains bug fixes for IRIX 5.3. The software
- cannot be installed on other configurations.
-
- 1.3 _B_u_g_s__F_i_x_e_d__b_y__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_0_6_0_4
-
- This patch includes fixes for command bugs which are found
- on running the MIPS ABITS (Implementation Conformance Test
- Suite (release 1.3b) ) on 5.3. The MIPS ABITS consists of
- the VSX4 tests which are executed in the XPG3 mode and some
- processor specific ABI tests. This is a patch for the MIPS
- ABI reference platform(execution environment).
-
- Descriptions of fixes in this patch include bug numbers from
- the Silicon Graphics bug tracking system for reference.
-
- +o The basename command was modified to print a dot when a
- NULL string is passed to it as an argument. i.e
- basename "". This is a fix for a MIPS ABI problem(bug
- 279531).
-
- +o The make command with the "-t" option prints the
- information messages to the standard error instead of
- the stdout. Fixed the file make/doname.c to correct the
- problem. This is a fix for a MIPS ABI problem(bug
- 279542).
-
- +o The find command with the "fstype" option prints an
- extra line for every file it finds in the output. This
- is a MIPS ABI problem(bug 279539).
-
- +o Fixed the pr command for the option "-l <length>" which
- used to output a form feed at the end of every file
- passed to it as an argument when the value of length
- was <= 10. This is a MIPS ABI problem(bug 279532).
-
- +o The lp command does not work with the "-d printername"
- option. Fixed the problem with the parsing of the
- command line arguments. This is a fix for a MIPS ABI
- problem(bug 279731).

- Because you want to install only the patches for problems
- you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
- default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed in
- this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
- meet your specific needs.
-
- If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
- notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
- meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
- _i_n_s_t.
-
- Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
- software product. Follow the instructions in your _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
- _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e to bring up the miniroot
- form of the software installation tools.
-
- Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:
-
- 1. At the Inst>prompt, type
-
- iiiinnnnssssttttaaaallllllll ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
-
- 2. Select the desired patches for installation.
-
- 3. Initiate the installation sequence. Type
-
- IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> ggggoooo
-
- 4. You may find that two patches have been marked as
- incompatible. If this occurs, you must deselect one
- of the patches.
-
- IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> kkkkeeeeeeeepppp ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
-
- 5. After completing the installation process, exit the
- _i_n_s_t program by typing
-

-
- To remove a patch, use the _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e command as you
- would for any other software subsystem. The removal process
- reinstates the original version of software unless you have
- specifically removed the patch history from your system.
-
- vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeee ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
-
- To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
- _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e_h_i_s_t command to remove the patch history.
-
- vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeeehhhhiiiisssstttt ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
