Hi,

 I'm in the process of trying to bci a few files into the goldos pool.
 the files in question are src/kernel/conf/alpha/BINARY.ext, GENERIC.ext
 and friends.

 The comments intended for the log are being ignored.  I've attempted to
 include them 3 different ways:

  via -m switch
  by suppling them when prompted for a log enter on the bci
  by putting the comments into the file before the bci (between history and
  log) markers.

The file checks in fine.  The comments are dropped however.  Any idea??

thanks
Paula

Paula, I just checked the 1st file, src/kernel/conf/alpha/BINARY.ext, 
by doing a "bco -u -rGOLDOS" and found that it has an incomplete ode
header, with no rcs $Log keyword, which means comments aren't expanded.
(You could put in a gen-ptt bug report that bci shouldn't let it in).

Here's what it looks like now:
#
# @DEC_COPYRIGHT@
#
# HISTORY
# New configuration files for the extended kernel. Basically
# a rename of the old except now config will key off KERNEL_EXT
# to determine which BINARY to use (BINARY or BINARY.ext
# $EndLog$
#

Here's what we suggest for the ode header (/usr/sde/osf1/headers/header.sh)
# 
# @DEC_COPYRIGHT@
#
# HISTORY
# $Log:$
# $EndLog$
# 
# @(#)$RCSfile$ $Revision$ (DEC) $Date$
# 

Just add the "# $Log:$" line and the RCSfile line (recommended for
rev tracking in the product but not necessary) and it should check in
with messages.

Hi,

 Jim suggested I do a bcs -c and reset the comment leaders.  I 
 did this and all is well...

thanks
Paula

Paula, at least at the time I looked at the file, the comment leader
was ok "# " -- but the $Log:$ missing was critical.
