Subj: 	Re: I believe srequest is busted.

This has been fixed and the fix SHOULD have propagated to your sde host.

| Greetings:
| 
| I believe the portion of srequest that does the "bdiff" is busted in
| the new version of ODE.  Instead of getting my diffs included in the
| srequest, I get the following error:
| 
| 	o Code Diffs: include pointer to file, use the command,
| 	  bdiff -r$NEW -all >& bdiff.log
| 	bdiff: unknown switch: -c./xc/programs/xmodmap/handle.c
| 
| Normally, I would chaulk this up to my ignorance then run around the
| halls exclaiming "our development environment sucks!"  I saw this same
| error message on an srequest from ddhill, however, so I don't know if
| I can truly plead mea culpa.  It definitely reduces the size of the
| srequest, though, so I might be all for keeping it this way.

| 
| 	Decx11 Submit Request Form - V1.1
| 
| 	Use srequest to fill out and mail this form to
| 	the appropriate FSRT (Functional Submit Review Team)
| 
| o Submit Abstract (one line)
| Submit fix for Show Stopper OSF_QAR 36436
| 
| o Which Decx11 Baselevel do you wish to submit to?
| BL 8 of project decx11
| 
| o This submit is in response to:
|   QAR number: 36436
|  
| o Does this submit complete the implementation of the feature tag(s):
| No
| 
| o Description of Change:
| The R5 X server used to lie about the minimum and maximum keycodes
| of the keyboard in use.  As a result, we made a bunch of xmodmap-able
| keymaps that contained a bunch of keycodes out of the range of the
| keyboard.  The R6 server does its best to tell the truth about the
| min keycode (it still has to lie about the max keycode because we
| need to continue supporting the KME extension).  As a result, many
| existing *broken* xmodmap files will not work on the R6 server.
| I don't believe the server should be modified to continue supporting
| such broken behavior, so I modified the R6 xmodmap client.  Instead
| of issuing an error then quitting, the modified R6 xmodmap issues
| a warning and ignores lines with keycode values out of range.  This
| allows broken xmodmap files to work, and also prompts the owners of
| the xmodmap files to clean up the mess they created.

|   Include the output in this form.
| 
|   How did you test this change?

| warnings but still worked.
| 
| o Standards Compliance - (Standards regressions are SHOW-STOPPERS)
| 
| (a) Does your submit affect the XPG4 or Motif Standards? YES [  ]  NO [x ]
| 
| (b) If yes, you run the appropriate testsuite?  YES [  ]  NO [  ]
|     
|     Include testsuite output(s) or rationale if NO: 
| 
| 
| 
| o Does this submit cause any changes in the install tree?
|   If so, you MUST modify ./check/master.inv to reflect any inventory
|   changes and include it in this srequest.
| No
| 
| o Does this submit result in a new file that needs to show up in the kit or
|   build output area?  Does it remove (defunct) a file from the output area?
| No,no.
| 
|   For new inventory changes please consult with Sean Davidson to confirm 
|   subset name.  Please grep the the following files to find the pathname for 
|   the defuncting files.
