This area is the one that gets stripped and is intended for RCS file history only. Given that information in there might contain comments like "fixed bug that ..." it's considered propriatary and should not go to customers and thus gets auto-stripped in every creation of the output tree. -Grant | Does anyone know how to keep comments from being stripped from installed | scripts? | | thanks | | --Doug | |||||

Date Of Receipt: 5-JUN-1995 17:56:04.18 From: SMURF::FLUME::jmcg "Jim McGinness" To: frank@DEC:.zko.flume CC: buildhelp@DEC:.zko.flume Subj: Re: preserving comments in scripts If the script is really a script and not a DATAFILE, the comments are stripped by action of one of the macros: SED_KSH_STRIP SED_SH_STRIP SED_CSH_STRIP declared in usr/lib/makefiels/scripts.mk. To override this macro, you would modify the Makefile to include a line like SED_OPTIONS =-e 's/^//' -e t or, if you only want this treatment for one specific target named "myscript", a line like myscript_SEC_OPTIONS =-e 's/^//' -e t This substitution always succeeds, so the t branch to end-of-script is always taken. This branches around the comment-stripping action. | |||||
