2832.0. "question on latest kit - ultrix, MCC and CMA" by MICROW::LANG () Thu Apr 23 1992 09:18

    
    I have a question on the latest kit.  We've installed this on an 
    Ultrix system.  This kit was supposed to solve the problem of MCC
    changing the CMA softlinks.  It didn't on our system, but we had
    previously had MCC installed.  My question is, does this kit have
    that fix and just not overwrite the links if they exist, or should
    the kit have updated the links so they point to the official cma
    location (rather than the mcc directory which has cma in it.)
    
    		thanks,
    			Bonnie

	This kit just leaves alone any links that it finds. For SSB, we plan to require that the CMA subset be installed on the system. However, for FT update, we were unable to complete the processes of packaging the CMA subset with our kit, so the old scheme is still in place today. -- Erik

	Erik, If CMA had been installed with links, but not MCC, would MCC overwrite the links? (This is what we were seeing in earlier kits.) If we delete the links to MCC directories and reinstall, should the links be to MCC directories? thanks, Bonnie

The DECmcc installation procedure should not over-write existing links. > If we delete the links to MCC directories and reinstall, should > the links be to MCC directories? If you install DECmcc, and there are no links present, you will get links to the CMA files in the DECmcc directories. I don't know what will happen to any links when you remove DECmcc (setld -d). All this will go away when we stop shipping CMA files in DECmcc directories at all for SSB.
