SOFTWARE ISSUES/BUGS

UPGRADES

Fairly slow. I guess it has lots of things to do.

CVS

cvs core dumps *IF* the file "Distribution/srt2/.cvspass" does not have world read permission.

Ld

"ld" which is part of binutils seems to use more memory compared

to the version on 7.1.1 . A example of this is shown here.

Thanks to Robert Kennedy at CDF for finding this problem.

ntp

This version of ntp adds a "ntp" user to /etc/passwd . This user

needs to be in /etc/passwd in order for ntp to start properly. If

you modify /etc/passwd make sure that the "ntp" user is kept intact.

yum

If yum has to download rpms to upgrade them there are cases where a

shortage of disk space can cause of "python traceback".
