From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andreas Jaeger To: GNU libc hacker Subject: README-glibc-crypt on ftp.gnu.org Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 09:27:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 1999-10/msg00055.html I've updated the file README-glibc-crypt on ftp.gnu.org to point to ftp.gwdg.de. The text is now: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is called `glibc-crypt-2.1.1.tar.gz' (or whatever the last version is). You can just unpack the crypt distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/glibc [134.76.11.100], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.gwdg.de; transferring this distribution from ftp.gnu.org (or any other site in the USA) to a site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you like to have anything changed, please tell me. Please note that current versions of crypt (2.1 and newer) are not on ftp.gnu.org. Are there any objections to remove all crypt 2.0.x versions also? I'm in favor of removing it since I see every odd day a report that crypt 2.0.6 doesn't work with glibc 2.1.2 :-(. I've also put the current linuxthreads add-on on ftp.gnu.org.
