flexfax: Current Patch List for v4.0pl2

[Phil Watkinson <pkw@elgro.co.uk>]

Hi,

I have created a list of patches to HylaFAX v4.0pl2 of those submitted
to this mailing list and other places. In some cases I have changed the
names of the patches to make them distinguishable and more descriptive.

The patches, individually and in a tarball, are available on my web site.
Please see :       http://www.elgro.demon.co.uk/patchlist.html
and                http://www.elgro.demon.co.uk/downloads.html

Any omissions, errors, or just general comments directly to me please.

Cheers.

PATCHLIST for HylaFAX v4.0pl2
Current as at 24 Aug 98
By Phil Watkinson <pkw@elgro.co.uk>


xferstat-domains.patch      Patch to xferstat script not included in
                            v4.0pl2 due to it being 'not generic'. To
                            be applied where the error "Warning, address
                            clash" is seen from xferstat.

skel-classes.patch          Changes the HylaFAX skel/class[1,2,2.0]
                            to a more sensible arrangement.

xferfax-patch.sh            Shell script that changes the name of all
                            xfer* files to xferfax* to avoid clashing
                            with the xferstats and xferlog files of the
                            wu-ftp program. This particularly applies
                            to users of RedHat Linux.

fixhtml-patch.sh            Shell script that fixes the links in the
                            html documentation at install time.

                            Submitted by Nico Garcia 7 Feb 98

fixhtml-manpages-patch.sh   Shell script that removes the numerical
                            categories from the man page links in the
                            html documentation, allowing them to work
                            on all Unix systems.
                            Submitted by Nico Garcia 7 Feb 98

configure-redhat.patch      Alters settings in the configure script
                            for ghostscript location and logwtmp.
                            Required for RedHat 4.x and 5.x Linux.
                            Submitted by Nico Gracia 15 Feb 98

hosts.fax-patch.sh          Shell script to change HylaFAX etc/hosts
                            file to be etc/hosts.fax; thus avoiding
                            the confusion sometimes experienced by
                            people new to Unix with the system
                            /etc/hosts file.
                            Submitted by Nico Garcia 17 Feb 98

defs-regex.patch            Rearrange order of libraries and includes
                            in defs.in.
                            Required for 5.x Linux.
                            Submitted by Nico Gracia 17 Feb 98

textfmt-fontmap.patch       Enables HylaFAX to use ghostscript Fontmap
                            to find fonts for faxmail & textfmt. Avoids
                            the need for the afm font files.
                            Version 2.2 by Robert Colquhoun 19 Mar 98

gcc-2.8.x.patch             Required by systems with gcc 2.8.0 or
                            above, including egcs.
                            Submitted by Robert Colquhoun 20 Feb 98

faxcron-failures.patch      Faxcron is supposed to return the
                            associated trace log of any calls that
                            failed suspiciously. It never worked for
                            me. If the failures tests have a first
                            letter capital (as they do in the
                            etc/xferlog), then it worked fine.
                            Submitted by Seth Chaiklin 20 Mar 98

faxcron-dirs.patch          Faxcron was sometimes bothering with
                            minor error messages when grep'ing
                            directories. This diff made it shut up.
                            Submitted by Tobias Richter 21 Mar 98

textfmt-mailer.patch        Patch to util/TextFmt.c++ to prevent
                            faxmail failing with 'mailer died with
                            exit status 13' error on RedHat 5.0.
                            Submitted by Robert Colquhoun 10 Apr 98.


SNPPserver.patch            The following etc/pagermap entry does
                            not work as expected
                                 (.*)@(.*)       \2/\1
                            and pagesend/hfaxd attempted to dial
                            \2 instead of the second regexp match;
                            apparently due to hfaxd applying the
                            regexp to the PIN and not the dial string.

lasttime.patch              The time conversion for expiry time
                            (LASTTIME job parm) was wrong for times
                            longer than 24 hours. If you specify
                            25 hours, it gave you 49 hours, and
                            report that it has given you 97 hours.

faxclient.patch             This patch allows specification of the
                            ModemFmt, JobFmt & RcvFmt in the
                            environment. This way the changes in
                            the format string can be made on the
                            fly. It also adds two new options -m
                            and -n, which turn off the server and
                            modem status reports and turn off the
                            headers. This is all designed to make it
                            easier to parse the output.

faxcover.patch              Here is a patch to faxcover.c++ that
                            allows line feeds in the comments to
                            do the right thing. There was an extra
                            '\' in the wrong place along with a few
                            other things. I have increased the
                            maximum comment length to 60 and put it
                            into a variable (it was hard coded at 35).

sendfax.patch               Here is a patch that allows the entry of
                            a voice number into sendfax.c++ that will
                            appear on the cover page. The option used
                            is '-V'.

stackbuffer.patch           Patch to util/StackBuffer[.h .c++] to add
                            equals operator ( ie operator= ) function.
                            Fixes SIGSEV in pagesend after sending ucp
                            page. A defined operator= would catch other
                            instances of code assigning one
                            fxStackBuffer to another.

tagline.patch               I have found the bug in faxd/Tagline.c++.
                            There was a calculation mistake, the
                            author took away a quantity in bits when
                            in should have been in bytes. This put
                            around 6-12 bytes of junk on the page at
                            the end of every tagline.
