Subj: 	Additional entry for /usr/sde/build_list

Hi.

An entry for v13bsupportx.nightly needs to be added to /usr/sde/build_list.
A couple of months ago, I had some problems and you added v12supportx.nightly
and v20supportx.nightly to build_list, but evidently not v13bsupportx.nightly
because we have now run into the same problem with it.

I've attached the original mail below FYI.  Let me know if you have any
questions.

Thanks,
John F.

Hello.

When I try to create a sandbox backed against any of the following trees:

	v12supportx.nightly
	v13bsupportx.nightly
	v20supportx.nightly

when I don't have a default sandbox, I get the following error:

	>> WARNING in mksb:
	>> v12supportx.nightly is not a legal, accessible sandbox.
	>> Will prompt for this information.
	No known current builds to pick from.
	Enter absolute path to backing tree or name from build list:

I suspect the problem is that /usr/sde/build_list does not contain entries
for the above trees.  It does contain entries for v12supportos,
v12supportos.nightly, v12supportx, etc. and I can create sandboxes backed
against those trees.

The problem doesn't show up if I have a default sandbox.  Evidently, mksb
reads the default sandbox's rc_files/shared file which in turn includes
../link/rc_files/shared and that defines:

	build_base /usr/sde/osf1/build

Apparently, this overrides /usr/sde/build_list.

If my conjectures are correct, could you add the trees listed above to
/usr/sde/build_list?

Thank you,
John F.

Yes, your conjectures are correct and those entries were missing. They're
in there now, although it may take a little while for your /usr/sde
server to be updated.

Done. It'll take a little while to propagate.
