Subject: Updated version of UPS de* available
Summary: version 3.36 released
Keywords: UPS de* C/C++

   The 3.36 release of the UPS de* is now available. It is
currently at

   http://www.veryComputer.com/
   ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/de*s/ups-3.36.tar.gz

   It is also available at other standard X11 sites, such as ftp.x.org.
See
   the UPS web site for details: http://www.veryComputer.com/

   For those unfamilar with UPS, it is an UNIX source level de* for
   C, C++ and Fortran, using X11. It is small and self contained, not
layered
   on any other debug code.

   Most testing has been done on Sun Solaris systems, but it should
build
   and work on various Linux flavors, such as Debian, Slackware and Red
Hat,
   as well as FreeBSD. There is a beta port for BSD/OS as well.

   The 3.36 version allows one to debug different targets within one
session,
   easily load libraries on the fly, and includes various bug fixes.

1. Updated unofficial patch for UPS 3.14-beta debugger available

I have placed files for a revised UNOFFICIAL contrib patch for UPS
version 3.14-beta on ftp.x.org. The README, patch file and stripped
binaries for Solaris 2.5 and SunOS 4.1.3 are respectively:

ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/devel_tools/ups-3.14-beta-rga-4.README
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/devel_tools/ups-3.14-beta-rga-4.diff.gz
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/devel_tools/ups-3.14-beta-rga-4.solaris-2.5.gz
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/devel_tools/ups-3.14-beta-rga-4.sunos.gz

It is numbered patch 4, and replaces my older patches.
It incorporates most of the extensions from the unofficial "2.54-RGA"
version, plus some fixes specific to version 3. See the CHANGES files
for details of the features of this patch.

Not having a SC4 compiler, I am still in need of test cases for SC4 with C++
to fix remaining symbol reading problems.

I merged in the old 'a.out" Linux changes as a starting point for someone
to port to Linux ELF.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
To apply the patch:

1) Obtain the standard ups-3.14-beta tar file, "ups-3.14-beta.tar.gz",
   (e.g. ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/devel_tools/ups-3.14-beta.tar.gz)
   and the patch file "ups-3.14-beta-rga-4.diff.gz"

2) Unpack the sources with "gzip -dc ups-3.14-beta.tar|tar xfp -".

3) Unpack the patch file with "gzip -d".

4) Change directory to ups-3.14-beta

5) Make the patch:

        patch -c -p -s < ../ups-3.14-beta-rga-4.diff

6) Build according to the README file.
