| 2015.10.12 |
Tell user more about AIPS_ROOT and data area names (no
blanks). Make the default data area if none given. Repeat info

| 2010.12.01 |
Update to 31DEC11 version string. |
| 2010.07.19 |
Changed SCREEN_11 to omit the advanced questions when doing a
binary installation. Fixed error after 11 where it tried to go to
non-existent SCREEN_12.
|
| 2010.02.12 |
Added START_QMNGR to list to copy to $AIPS_ROOT
|
| 2009.12.11 |
Add code to make sure that a pre-existing HOSTS.LIST file has
the $ARCH and $SITE of the new installation. When users change
their minds this can lead to very confusing mixed messages unless
the HOSTS.LIST file is made to agree with what install.pl is now
doing. Should go to 31DEC09 but has not yet.
|
| 2009.12.02 |
Update to 31DEC10 version string. |
| 2009.07.26 |
SCREEN_1 did not go to the right place to download a tarball

directory creation and for making the AIPS link files.
|
| 2007.12.03 |
Update to 31DEC08 version string.

files. |
| 2007.01.22 |

Added AMD64's to recognize architecture and size, change
FDFEFAULT compiler option and XAS Makefile.
|
| 2005.10.30 |
Dropped symlink making for AIPS on Macs. Just does aips.
|
| 2005.08.26 |
Change usage of FILAIP now that 2 questions dropped.
|
| 2005.07.13 |
Ask if binary intended when tar ball not found.
|
| 2005.06.16 |
Chaned the READLINE.SHR handling - only 1 file now.
|
| 2005.01.04 |
Add -c option for CDrom, cleaned up install from CDrom.

Add system areas to all architectures due to cvs needs even
for a binary installation.
|
| 2004.11.28 |
Overhaul to do binary installations on option -n. AP siize 20
by default. Menu 10 skipped on binary installation.
|
| 2004.08.05 |
$INSTALL_FROM_CD usage corrected.
|
| 2004.05.11 |
Error in finding date of yesterday fixed.
|
| 2004.01.27 |
Always found install machine in HOSTS.LIST due to error.
|
| 2003.12.04 |
The test for HPs for a special hack in compiling PP.FOR used
$arch which is not set, $ARCH is correct.
|
| 2003.11.17 |
Corrected an error in unpacking READLINE.SHR.
|
| 2003.11.12 |
Dropped building and using UNSHR - all SHR files are now
correctly build and can be unpacked with an sh command.
Fixed the test in compiling PP to test for an IBM xlf compiler
rather than an IBM architecture - IBM now vends xlf for Macs
and other architectures.
|
| 2003.10.17 |
Changed how the date for MAKE.MNJ is found in order to cover
the case where the tar ball has been deleted.
|
| 2003.09.05 |
Added page 5a to ask if this is a single laptop type of
installation. It renames the host to LOCALHOST in this case
and builds the HOSTS.LIST, DADEVS etc with this name. It also
now auto-edits LOGIN.{SH,CSH} for the LAPTOP logical.
|
| 2003.08.13 |
Copy MAKE.MNJ to $SYSLOCAL and edit it there to put in the
correct C compiler. Changed to make the user explicitly ask
to download the tar ball. Having the ftp download be the
default may be why there are so many nearly simultaneous
downloads by sites. |
| 2003.06.17 |
Added comment about editing FDEFAULT.SH when using the
2.95.3 compiler. |
| 2003.06.11 |
Changed default $AIPS_ROOT to the local directory of the
installation (`pwd`). |
| 2003.06.05 |
Registration does not work so commented out that whole
section. |
| 2003.04.07 |
Move SETNAME and SETUNAME to $AIPS_ROOT and add a pause to
edit them if desired. |
| 2003.03.21 |
Added a rename of TEXT to TEXT.OLD to avoid unpacking
problems. |
| 2003.02.04 |
Changed PWD to AIPWD. Added a case to recognize MacIntosh
OS/X systems as MACPPC. |
| 2003.01.23 |
Dropped old section 10 on Inet/Unix TVs - it did nothing
except confuse the users. Inet is always the default and the
services are needed for tapes anyway. Added remark about
tv=local in ref to the services and about the host name in the
disk file naming. |
| 2002.12.26 |
The 31DEC02 version becomes type NEW, stopping the running of
MAKE.MNJ. |
| 2002.12.24 |
The question about skipping the tar ball unpack had the wrong
code for the default - requiring a Y or y to be typed to
skip. |
| 2002.12.16 |
Corrected the handling of the MNJ so that the date will be set
by default to the tar ball date minus 1 not December of last
year. |
| 2002.11.15 |
Create $AIPS_ROOT/OFM directory. Make $RUNFIL, $FITS, $OFMFIL
group writable always. |
| 2002.09.30 |
Added code to make a FITS directory if one is not
present. |
| 2002.09.27 |
AP size 20 Mbytes was recommended on machines > 70 Mbytes
which is not enough for the OS these days. Changed to
recommend 80 Mbytes over 400 Mbytes and 20 over 140 Mbytes of
RAM. These are more realistic. |
| 2002.08.09 & 13 |
The INSTEP2 and FILAIP questions were case sensitive in their
answers. |
| 2002.07.08 |
Changed default to start INSTEP2 and 4 rather than not to
start them. |
| 2002.05.15 |
Changed the code that copies files to $AIPS_ROOT from
$SYSUNIX. This copy checked dates but there are ways for that
to fail so I made it copy the files all the time. If there
are restarts this blows away the .old files but so what.
Also added $mytype = "TST" and the MNJ code will be done only
if $mytype is /TST/. When we get a new NEW this changes to
NEW and the MNJ stuff is skipped as it should be for NEW. |
| 2002.02.14 |
Added support for CDROM installation, so that it doesn't do or
say really dumb things. Fixed problem with fishing the compiler
options out of the CCOPTS.SH, LDOPTS.SH and FDEFAULT.SH files,
inserted some sanity checks for compiles working. |
| 2002.01.09 |
Changed DADEVS handling to force the entry of a directory name
only if $NET0/DADEVS.LIST does not exist. Added copy of files
from $NET0/$HOST to $TST/$ARCH/TEMPLATE. |
| 2001.12.27 |
Fixed it to write PAPC.INC in $INC/NOTST/$ARCH always. |
| 2001.09.05 |
Fixed privileges when $AIPS_ROOT directory had to be created. |
| 2001.06.15 |
FDEFAULT.SH is now in $SYSLOCAL rather than $SYSUNIX |
| 2001.05.16 |
Documentation updated to include list
of services needed for the /etc/services file (or NIS
services map). Sorry! Thought I had included this. -- PM.
|
| 2001.01.25 |
Many bug fixes that caused all sorts of annoyances, most of them
irritating but not debilitating. Note that one of the "fixes" is
actually a fix to the AIPSASSN.SH file; there was one
statement where a [ (square bracket)
and a quote mark
The most problematic bug fixed was one that caused the
unpacking of XAS to hang. Another was the
failure to make the symlink to
/usr/lib/libreadline.a if found (so it
unnecessarily went through the unpacking and building of
readline).
|
| 2000.11.29 |
Change name from 31DEC99 to 31DEC00. |
| 2000.10.24 |
Script was not closing a double quote in
$SYSUNIX/ZLPCL2; fixed today. If your
ZLPCL2 is broken, you'll see
ZLPCL2: syntax error at line 73: `('
unexpected
whenever you try to print text from AIPS (e.g.,
PRTMSG). You can repair this by inserting a
double
quote character at the
end of line 53 or 55 of ZLPCL2
(whichever one is not commented out with a "#"):
psfilter="$SYSLOCAL/F2PS
-$size"
(There may be an -A4 flag, or not;
preserve it if it's there).
|
| 2000.09.30 |
Incorrect dates in AIPSPATH.* files fixed |
| 2000.09.27 |
Fix "missing AIPS.BOOT" file problem |
