1.1       root        1: 
                      2: From: shane@mit-ajax (K. Shane Hartman)
                      3: I have created a mechanism for automatically updating your Gnu Emacs
                      4: sources from the sources maintained on mit-prep. To take advantage of this
                      5: mechanism you must have a connection to the internet and do the following:
                      6: 
                      7: Obtain the modified version of rcp from mit-prep. This version is upward
                      8: compatible with standard rcp. The relevant files are:
                      9: mit-prep:/u2/emacs/rcp.binary (compiled for vax 4.2)
                     10: mit-prep:/u2/emacs/rcp.1c
                     11: mit-prep:/u2/emacs/RCP.README
                     12: You can use ftp to obtain the files or rcp (the old version will work for
                     13: this, just do 'rcp mit-prep.rcp:/u2/emacs/rcp.binary rcp.binary' ...
                     14: 
                     15: If you have a source license, /u2/emacs/rcp.diff may be useful: it is
                     16: a diff of ucb rcp and the modified rcp.
                     17: 
                     18: Replace your current copy of rcp with rcp.binary (it must suid to root),
                     19: but keep the old copy around just in case (e.g. rename to rcp.ucb) and
                     20: install the man page.
                     21: 
                     22: Now connect to your toplevel emacs directory (which contains src, etc, dbx,
                     23: lisp, and info) and do:
                     24: 
                     25: rcp -ruvp "mit-prep.rcp:/u2/emacs/dist/*" .
                     26: 
                     27: The new options: v - verbose, u - update, and p - preserve write dates.
                     28: The rcp 'account' supports only the rcp command.
                     29: 
                     30: Once you have synchronized with the write dates for the files on prep, the
                     31: above command is sufficient to update all and only those files that have
                     32: changed on prep with respect to your sources. For this scheme to work, you
                     33: must maintain the sources on your own machine and be aware that if you
                     34: change a source on your machine, then rcp can be fooled.
