Referring to that file, where on earth are some of the updates
mentioned? Here's the relevant list from the 2.2.3 source tree...
Kernel modules 2.1.121 ; insmod -V
Gnu C 2.7.2.3 ; gcc --version
Binutils 2.8.1.0.23 ; ld -v
Linux libc5 C Library 5.4.46 ; ls -l /lib/libc.so.*
Linux libc6 C Library 2.0.7pre6 ; ls -l /lib/libc.so.*
Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.9.9 ; ldd --version or ldd -v
Linux C++ Library 2.7.2.8 ; ls -l /usr/lib/libg++.so.*
Procps 1.2.9 ; ps --version
Procinfo 15 ; procinfo -v
Psmisc 17 ; pstree -V
Net-tools 1.49 ; hostname -V
Loadlin 1.6a
Sh-utils 1.16 ; basename --v
Autofs 3.1.1 ; automount --version
NFS 2.2beta40 ; showmount --version
Bash 1.14.7 ; bash -version
Ncpfs 2.2.0 ; ncpmount -v
Pcmcia-cs 3.0.7 ; cardmgr -V
PPP 2.3.5 ; pppd -v
Util-linux 2.9g ; chsh -v
Of these, I note the following oddities:
1. NFS is specified as needing 2.2beta40 but the latest available
appears to be 2.2beta37 ???
2. Util-linux is specified as needing 2.9g or later but the latest
appears to be 2.9 (without the g) ???
Perhaps somebody can clarify this for me as I have to admit to being
puzzled by those two, although all the other applicable ones have now
been upgraded to at least the versions specified...
Best wishes from Riley.
