Description oddbjorn@tricknology.org 1999-03-07 20:27:59 UTC 
Full_Name: Oddbj�rn Steffensen
Version: 1.2.0
OS: FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE

Submission from: (NULL) (130.67.197.155)


Hello,

I've added readline support to the saucer program in contrib,
and added a preliminary Makefile for it. Tried to get in touch
with the original author, but the mail address mentioned in 
the source bounces.

Seems to work ok, but not extensively tested. As an additional
bonus, it displays the current dn in the prompt.

Tested on FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE.

regards,
-oddbj�rn

Good idea, bad patch.  Please try
<URL:http://www.uio.no/~hbf/saucer-patch> instead.

- Removed 8-bit char from .c file,
- Removed <readline/history.h>, older readlines do not seem to include it,
- why not use your prompt in non-readline mode too?,
- don't use full dn as prompt if it is too long.
  (Otherwise my department would have an 89-line prompt...)

Hallvard,

did you integrate your changes into -devel?
do changes need to be committed to re12?
should saucer be moved from contrib to clients?
