Eli System Administration Guide



Should you have a problem with Eli please e-mail a description to:
eli-project-users@lists.sourceforge.net
When reporting problems, please include the Eli version number (printed
when Eli starts up, or available in the distribution in
`Eli/pkg/version/version.dg') and the output from running the shell
command uname -a on your system. Also, please give
complete output illustrating the problem. If necessary,
please include relevant specification files.
In some cases it will also be helpful to identify the version of the
software in question. Most distributed files have RCS tags embedded in
them. Most executables are generated from sources that have an
initialized variable containing version information:
char rcsid[] = "$Id: misc.c,v 1.2 88/11/30 12:57:39 bob Exp $";
It is easy to identify the source versions from which binaries have been
generated by running the RCS ident utility on them. For example,
running ident on `pkg/gla/gla_fe' would yield something like
the following:
gla_fe:
$Id: driver.c,v 1.15 1996/03/22 19:28:48 kadhim Exp $
$Id: dfltclp.c,v 1.8 1994/12/08 03:09:52 tony Exp $
$Id: source.c,v 2.5 1995/01/16 02:19:21 waite Exp $
...
Sites that do not have ident can extract this information by one
of the following commands:
- Source
grep '\$Id:' `file-name'
- Executable
strings `file-name' | grep '\$Id:'
