@unnumbered System Requirements

@table @strong
@item OS Level
Progressive Release ||RELNO|| for ||HOST||s requires Solaris 2.0 or
later. 

@item A ||MEDIUM|| Drive
You need access to a ||MEDIUM|| drive.  The ||MEDIUM|| drive need not be
on the computer where you want to run the software; but it is best if
the machine with a ||MEDIUM|| drive and your computer can mount a common
file system.  At the very least, you need some sort of file transfer
capability between the machine with a ||MEDIUM|| drive and your
computer.

@item Disk Space
The total space required to extract and install
binaries and source for all programs is
||DF|| megabytes.

The software is configured to go into @file{/opt/gnu}.  If you have
space available, but not in the same file system as @file{/opt}, you can
use @samp{ln -s} to create @file{/opt/gnu} as a symbolic link to the
file system where you do have the space available.

If you don't have enough space, you may be able to install binaries only;
see @ref{Limited Space,,Not Enough Space}.  The space required for
installing the binaries is ||BD|| megabytes.

@item Root Access
The standard Solaris installation procedures for optional packages
require you to run the installation with root privileges.  We deplore
this requirement, but consider it valuable nevertheless to conform to
the standard Solaris installation procedure.

@unnumbered Installing the Developer's Kit

@iftex
This note shows the different parts of examples like this:
@table @asis
@item Computer output is shown in @code{typewriter font.}
@item Your input is indicated by @b{a sans-serif font.}
@item Text to replace, rather than typing verbatim, is in @var{this font}.
@item Comments appear in @i{italic font}.
@end table
@end iftex
In examples, we show the system prompt as @samp{eg#}.

The Cygnus Progressive--||RELNO|| ||MEDIUM|| is designed to work with
the Solaris administration command @code{pkgadd}.  

Two checklists follow.  The first checklist shows what to do if you have
a ||MEDIUM|| drive on the computer where you want to install the
Developer's Kit; the second shows how to use another networked machine
to read the ||MEDIUM||, then finish the installation on your computer.

Both checklists suggest installing the Developer's Kit binaries under
@file{/opt/gnu} (which can be a symbolic link from somewhere else, if
you like).  We recommend you use this location for the software, because
the precompiled, ready-to-run versions of the tools are configured this
way.  If you want to install elsewhere, see @ref{Paths,,Changing
the Paths}.)

Both checklists are very similar to @ref{Brief,,Installing in Brief},
but provide more discussion of each step, and offer alternatives for
systems whose available disk space is not in @code{/opt} and for
installing only portions of the Developer's Kit.

@unnumberedsubsec Installing with a local ||MEDIUM|| drive

This procedure is for a ||HOST|| that has its own ||MEDIUM|| drive.  The
complete procedure takes at least ?? minutes on a fast, unloaded
machine; it may take up to ??? in other situations.

@enumerate
@item 
Make sure you have root access to the computer.  The standard Solaris
installation procedures for optional packages require @code{root} to run
the complete installation.

@example
eg$ @b{su root}

Load the Cygnus Support release tape (labelled
``Progressive--||RELNO||'') into your system's tape drive.

@item
find out the name of the tape device on your machine that can read the
release tape.  Cygnus release tapes are labelled to identify the kind of
tape used.  You should use one of the following devices:

@ifset FIXMES
@quotation
@emph{FIXME!}  Does SVr4 specify device names enough that we can be more
explicit here?
@end quotation

@quotation
@emph{FIXME!}  For our own @code{Install}, we asked for
@emph{non-rewinding} tape device.  @code{pkgadd} doesn't say what kind
of tape devices it wants.  Does it matter?
@end quotation
@end ifset

@table @emph
@item ||TAPdflt|| tape
Use @file{||DEVdflt||} where the examples show @code{||MEDstr||}.

@item Exabyte ||MEDIUM||
The device name depends on how your Exabyte tape drive was installed;
ask your system administrator.  You will probably use something like
@file{/dev/???/a0b1c2d3} where we show @code{||MEDstr||}.
@end table
@end ifclear

@item
Now you can install ready-to-run binaries; or source; or both.

@itemize @bullet
@item
Choose source or binaries by running @code{pkgadd} with either or
both of the arguments @samp{GNUDEVTkit} (to install binaries) or
@code{GNUDEVTsrc} (for the source).  

@item
Run @code{pkgadd} interactively (that is, @emph{without} the @w{@samp{-n}}
option) to choose the installation directory.

@item
Use the @w{@samp{-d}} option to identify your ||MEDIUM||.
@end itemize

For instance, typing this command line starts installation of both
the source package and the binary package:

@cartouche
@example
eg# @b{/usr/sbin/pkgadd} @b{-d} @b{||MEDstr||} @b{GNUDEVTkit} @b{GNUDEVTsrc}
@end example
@end cartouche

@item
For each of the packages, @code{pkgadd} will ask for confirmation of the
install directory @file{/opt/gnu}, or an alternative.  

For the source package @code{GNUDEVTsrc}, place the package wherever
it's convenient; the only advantage of using the default location
@file{/opt/gnu} is to keep the source near the binaries.

For the @code{GNUDEVTkit} binaries, we recommend using the default location
@file{/opt/gnu}, since this location is configured and compiled into all
the tools.  

@quotation
@emph{Warning!} If you choose an alternate location for
@code{GNUDEVTkit} binaries, you will need to override the compiled-in
paths to run the programs.  @xref{Paths,,Changing the Paths}.
@end quotation

This example shows the interaction to accept @file{/opt/gnu} for the
binaries:

@cartouche
@example
Extracting Solaris GNU Developer's Kit binaries.
 >>Installing in "/opt/gnu".  OK?  [y/n]> @b{y}
@end example
@end cartouche

This example shows the interaction to place the source in
@file{/usr/local/src} instead of the default location.  After you type
the location, the installation script asks you to confirm.  You can use
this opportunity to avoid typographical errors in the install directory
name.

@cartouche
@example
Extracting Solaris GNU Developer's Kit source.
 >>Installing in "/opt/gnu".  OK?  [y/n]> @b{n}
 >>Where do you want to install?  > @b{/usr/local/src}
 >>Installing in "/usr/local/src".  OK? [y/n]> @b{y}
@end example
@end cartouche

@item
Installing the Developer's Kit binaries is a time-consuming step
(between ?? minutes and ???, depending on the speed of your machine).
@code{pkgadd} will display informative messages about its progress.
After the initial extraction step, it prepares copies of your system
header files, converted to comply better with @sc{ansi} C
(@pxref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}).  A log for
this step goes in @file{/opt/gnu/progressive-||RELNO||/fixincludes.log}.
@emph{Your system's original header files are not changed;}
@code{pkgadd} writes the converted copies in a separate,
@sc{gcc}-specific directory.

When installation is complete, @code{pkgadd} displays the message

@cartouche
@example
Cygnus Support software distribution installed!
@end example
@end cartouche

@item
Now that the software is on your system, you should arrange for users
to run it conveniently.  We recommend the following symbolic link; see
@ref{Link,,Easy Access and Updating}, for a discussion.

@cartouche
@example
eg# @b{cd} @b{/opt/gnu}
eg# @b{ln} @b{-s} @b{progressive-||RELNO||} @b{progressive}
@end example
@end cartouche

@ifset CUSTOMER
@item
Finally, in case you need to send problem reports to Cygnus, we've
included a script @code{send_pr} (and a supporting online template) to
structure and transmit your reports.  Please use the small utility
script @code{install_cid} to record your Cygnus customer ID in your copy
of the problem report form.  (You can find your customer ID in the cover
letter that came with this release; or call the Cygnus hotline, 
@w{+1 415 322 7836}.)  This will enable us to respond as quickly as
possible to any problem reports you send.

@cartouche
@example
eg# @b{/opt/progressive/bin/install@t{_}cid @var{customerID}}
install_cid: `@var{customerID}' is now the default customer ID
 for send_pr
@end example
@end cartouche
@end ifset

@end enumerate

You're done!  Anyone who puts @samp{/opt/progressive/bin} in her or his
@code{PATH} can use the Developer's Kit.

@code{pkgadd} uses that directory as the default location for packages
to install.)
@end itemize

For instance, typing this command line starts installation of both
the source package and the binary package:

@cartouche
@example
eg# @b{/usr/sbin/pkgadd} @b{-d} @var{shr} @b{GNUDEVTkit} @b{GNUDEVTsrc}
@end example
@end cartouche

@item
For each of the packages, @code{pkgadd} will ask for confirmation of the
install directory @file{/opt/gnu}, or an alternative.  

For the source package @code{GNUDEVTsrc}, place the package wherever
it's convenient; the only advantage of using the default location
@file{/opt/gnu} is to keep the source near the binaries.

For the @code{GNUDEVTkit} binaries, we recommend using the default location
@file{/opt/gnu}, since this location is configured and compiled into all
the tools.  

@quotation
@emph{Warning!} If you choose an alternate location for
@code{GNUDEVTkit} binaries, you will need to override the compiled-in
paths to run the programs.  @xref{Paths,,Changing the Paths}.

This example shows the interaction to accept @file{/opt/gnu} for the
binaries:

This example shows the interaction to place the source in

the location, the installation script asks you to confirm.  You can use
this opportunity to avoid typographical errors in the install directory
name.

Installing the Developer's Kit binaries is a time-consuming step (at
least ?? minutes on a fast, unloaded machine; it may take as much as ???
under other circumstances).  @code{pkgadd} will display informative
messages about its progress.  After copying the binaries into their
installed locations, @code{pkgadd} prepares copies of your system header
files, converted to comply better with @sc{ansi} C
(@pxref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}).  A log for
this step goes in @file{/opt/gnu/progressive-||RELNO||/fixincludes.log}.
@emph{Your system's original header files are not changed;}
@code{Install} writes the converted copies in a separate,

Finally, in case you need to send problem reports to Cygnus, we've
included a script @code{send_pr} (and a supporting online form) to

script @code{install_cid} to record your Cygnus customer ID in your copy
of the problem report form.  (You can find your customer ID in the cover

@unnumberedsec Why Convert System Header Files?

@ifset FIXMES
@quotation
@emph{FIXME!} This is pretty much the standard progressive blurb about
fixincludes.  Surely it's bogus here, since Solaris is a nice modern
system?  Doesn't it have ANSI header files?

Someone, please confirm or deny!  I seem to recall there's at least some
bullshit about how @code{__ANSIC__} or some such thing is defined.
Specifics, anyone?
@end quotation
@end ifset

You may notice messages about running @samp{fixincludes} during your
Developer's Kit installation.  When the @sc{ansi x3j11} committee
finished developing a standard for the C language, a few things that had
worked one way in many traditional C compilers ended up working
differently in @sc{ansi} C.  Most of these changes are improvements.
But some Unix header files still rely on the old C meanings, in cases
where the Unix vendor has not yet converted to using an @sc{ansi} C
compiler for the operating system itself.  The @samp{fixincludes}
portion of installation is a mechanical translation that writes
@sc{ansi} C versions of some system header files into a new,
@sc{gcc}-specific include directory---@emph{your system's original
header files are not affected.}

The particular problems fixed include:
@itemize @bullet
@item
@code{_IOR}, @code{_IOW}, and @code{_IORW} macros use obsolete
preprocessor facilities
@item
@code{#endif} no longer ignores its argument
@end itemize

If you don't run @code{fixincludes}, the GNU C compiler can only use the
original system header files when you compile new C programs.  @emph{In
some cases, the resulting programs will fail at run-time}.

@node Link, , Why-fixincludes, Installing
@unnumbered Easy Access and Updating
Once you've extracted them from the ||MEDIUM||, the Developer's Kit
tools are installed under a directory named
@file{progressive-||RELNO||}.  We put the release number in the
directory name so that you can keep several releases installed at the
same time, if you wish.  In order to simplify administrative procedures
(such as upgrades to future Cygnus Progressive releases), we recommend
that you establish a symbolic link @file{/opt/gnu/progressive} to this
directory.  For example, assuming you've used the default installation
path:

@cartouche
@example
eg# @b{cd /opt/gnu}
eg# @b{ln -s progressive-||RELNO|| progressive}
@end example
@end cartouche

We recommend building this link as the very last step in the
installation process.  That way, users at your site will only see
software in @file{/opt/gnu/progressive} when you're satisfied that the
installation is complete and successful.

@node Running, Paths, Installing, Top
@unnumbered Running the Programs
Any users who wish to run the Cygnus development tools will need to make
sure the @code{PATH} environment variable will find them.  If you create
the symbolic link we recommend above, users who want to run the
Developer's Kit---regardless of whether they need binaries for a ||HOST||,
or for some other platform---can use settings like one of the following
in their initialization files.

@example
@exdent For shells compatible with Bourne shell (e.g. @code{/bin/sh}, @code{bash}, or Korn shell):
@cartouche
@b{PATH=/opt/gnu/progressive/bin:$PATH}
@b{export PATH}
@end cartouche
@end example

@example
@exdent For C shell:
@cartouche
@b{set path=(/opt/gnu/progressive/bin $path)}
@end cartouche
@end example

@noindent
You should also ensure that your @code{man} command can pick up the
manual pages for these tools.  Some @code{man} programs recognize a
@code{MANPATH} environment variable.  If your @code{man} program is one
of these, users at your site can also include in their initialization
file lines like 

@example
@exdent For Bourne-compatible shells:
@cartouche
@b{MANPATH=/opt/gnu/progressive/man:$MANPATH:/opt/man}
@b{export MANPATH}
@end cartouche
@end example

@example
@exdent For C shell:
@cartouche
@b{setenv MANPATH /opt/gnu/progressive/man:$MANPATH:/opt/man}
@end cartouche
@end example

If your @code{man} program doesn't recognize @samp{MANPATH}, you may
want to copy or link the files from
@file{progressive/man/man1} into your system's
@file{man/man1}. @refill

@node Paths, Trouble, Running, Top
@unnumbered Changing the Paths
The binaries shipped by Cygnus are configured for installation under the
directory @file{/opt/gnu}.  If you wish to run the tools in another
location, the best solution---and, to date, the only complete one---is
to rebuild them from source.  @xref{Rebuilding,,Rebuilding from Source}.

In particular, @code{gcc} and the documentation browser @code{info} need
to know the location of the distribution.

@subheading GCC Paths
@ifset FIXMES
@quotation
@emph{FIXME!} Add something about specs file?
@end quotation
@end ifset
You can run the compiler @sc{gcc} without recompiling, even if you
install the distribution in an alternate location, by first setting the
environment variable @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}.  This variable specifies
where to find the executables, libraries, and data files used by the
compiler.  Its value will be different depending on which set of
binaries you need to run.  For example, if you install the Developer's Kit
binaries under @file{/local} (instead of the default
@file{/opt/gnu}), and you wish to run @sc{gcc} from there, 
you could set @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} as follows.  (You can
type the first two lines as a single line, if you like; the example
is split using the line continuation character @samp{\} only
to make it fit on the printed page.)

@cartouche
@example
@b{GCC@t{_}EXEC@t{_}PREFIX=/local/progressive-||RELNO||/@t{\}
lib/gcc/||TARGET||/||GCCvn||/}
@b{export GCC@t{_}EXEC@t{_}PREFIX}
@end example
@end cartouche

@noindent
The example assumes you use a shell compatible with the Bourne shell; if
you run the C shell, use the following instead.  (Again, the line
continuation character @samp{\} is only used for convenience in the
example; feel free to use a single line.)

@cartouche
@example
@b{setenv GCC@t{_}EXEC@t{_}PREFIX /local/progressive-||RELNO||/@t{\}
lib/gcc/||TARGET||/||GCCvn||/}
@end example
@end cartouche

@quotation
@emph{Warning: The trailing slash @samp{/} is important}.  The @code{gcc}
program uses @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} simply as a prefix.  If you omit the
slash (or make any other mistakes in specifying the prefix), @code{gcc}
will fail with a message beginning @samp{installation problem, cannot
exec@dots{}}.
@end quotation

@subheading @code{info} Paths
You can use the @w{@samp{--directory}} option, each time you run @code{info},
to specify a non-default location for the documentation files.  For
example, if you read the distribution ||MEDIUM||s into @file{/local},
you could run @code{info} as follows:

@cartouche
@example
@b{info --directory /local/progressive-||RELNO||/info}
@end example
@end cartouche

@quotation
@emph{Warning:} the directory you specify with @code{--directory}
@emph{must} contain at least the structured file called @code{dir},
which specifies the menu structure that leads to the other documentation
files.
@end quotation

You can also run @code{info} on a specific documentation file,
regardless of its location, by giving the option @code{-file} followed
by a pathname to the desired file; or you can use the command
@code{g(@var{filename})} to the same effect, after entering the
@code{info} program.

If your ||HOST|| doesn't have an appropriate ||MEDIUM|| drive, you may
still be able to install your software.  Check with your system
administrator to see if another machine that runs Unix SVr4 at your site
has a ||MEDIUM|| drive you can use.  If so:

@emph{If a shared filesystem is available} between the two machines, and
it has enough space, see @ref{cross-install,,Installing with another
machine's ||MEDIUM|| drive}.

@node Limited Space, Install errors, No Drive, Trouble
@unnumberedsec Not Enough Space
If you don't have enough space to install all of the ||MEDIUM||
distribution, you can instead extract only the compiled code, or only
the source.

The following table summarizes the approximate space (rounded up to the
next megabyte) needed for source and binaries.
There is a little overlap between the partial installations: the

@node Install errors,  , Limited Space, Trouble
@unnumberedsec Error Messages from @code{Install}

All Cygnus products are free software; your Developer's Kit includes

Rebuilding the programs from source requires these steps:
@enumerate
@item

@item

@end enumerate

For example, executing the following commands in sequence will rebuild
and install a native version of all the tools in a nonstandard
directory:

@node Config Names, configure Options, Configuration, Rebuilding
@section Specifying Names for Hosts and Targets

The specifications used for hosts and targets in the @code{configure}
script are based on a three-part naming scheme, but some short predefined
aliases are also supported.  The full naming scheme encodes three pieces

@table @code
@item -prefix=@var{dest}
@var{dest} is an installation directory @emph{path prefix},
the root for the directories where @code{make install} will
place things.  After you configure with this option, @code{make install}
will install info files in @file{@var{dest}/info}, man pages in
@file{@var{dest}/man}, and---unless you also use
@w{@samp{-exec-prefix}}---compiled programs in @file{@var{dest}/bin},
and libraries in @file{@var{dest}/lib}. 
If you specify @w{@samp{-prefix=/local}}, for example, @code{make
install} puts the development tools in @file{/local/bin}.

@emph{WARNING:} the default @var{dest} path prefix in the source is not
the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus.

@w{@samp{-prefix=/opt/gnu/progressive-||RELNO||}} was used to build this
Cygnus Progressive Release.  If you do not use @w{@samp{-prefix}}, the
installation directory is @file{/usr/local}.

@item -exec-prefix=@var{bindest}
@w{@samp{-exec-prefix}} serves the same purpose as @w{@samp{-prefix}}, but
affects only machine-dependent targets (compiled programs and
libraries).  Specifying both @w{@samp{-prefix}} and @w{@samp{-exec-prefix}}
allows you to segregate machine-dependent files, so that
machine-independent files can be shared.  

@emph{WARNING:} the default @var{bindest} path prefix in the source is not
the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus.

@w{@samp{-exec-prefix=/opt/gnu/progressive-||RELNO||}} was
used to build this Cygnus Progressive Release.
If you do not use @w{@samp{-exec-prefix}}, the default directory for
machine-dependent targets is whatever was specified with @file{-prefix}
(by default, @file{/usr/local}).

@item -srcdir=@var{path}
@emph{Warning: This option is only supported if you use @sc{gnu}
@code{make}} (which is included in this Cygnus Progressive--||RELNO|| release).
Use this option to make configurations in directories separate from the
source directories. @code{configure} writes configuration specific files
in the current directory, but arranges for them to use the source in the
directory @var{path}.  @code{configure} will create directories under
the working directory in parallel to the source directories below
@var{path}.  Among other things, you can use this to build (or maintain)
several configurations simultaneously, in separate directories.

@item -norecursion
Configure only the directory level where @code{configure} is executed; do not
propagate configuration to subdirectories.

@item -target=@var{target}
Configure the development tools for cross-development (compiling,
debugging, or other processing) of programs running on the specified
@var{target}.  Without this option, programs are configured ``native'',
that is, for managing programs that run on the same machine (@var{host})
as the development tools themselves.

There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available targets.

@item @var{host} @dots{}
Configure the development tools to run on the specified @var{host}.

There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available hosts.
@end table

The @w{@samp{-prefix=@var{dest}}} and @w{@samp{-exec-prefix=@var{bindest}}}
options are particularly important.  If you don't specify a @var{dest}
or @var{bindest} directory, the @file{Makefile} installs binaries in
subdirectories of @file{/usr/local}.  These options are important
because the @var{dest} and @var{bindest} directories are used for
several purposes:

@enumerate
@item
@var{bindest} is the directory where binaries are installed.

@item
@var{bindest} is built into the compiler itself for the
locations of @sc{gcc} specific include files, the locations of @sc{gcc}
subprograms, and the location of the @sc{gcc} specific library
@file{libgcc.a}.

@item
@var{dest} is compiled into @code{info} as the default directory
for the documentation.

@node Compilation, Installation, configure Options, Rebuilding
@unnumberedsec Compilation

After you've run @code{configure} (which writes the final
@file{Makefile} in each directory), compilation is straightforward.
To compile all the programs in the Developer's Kit, run:

@cartouche
@example
@b{make}
@end example
@end cartouche

The overall @file{Makefile} propagates the value of the @code{CC}
variable explicitly, so that you can easily control the compiler used in
this step.  @code{CFLAGS} is treated the same way.  For instance, to
build the compiler a second time, using @sc{gcc} to compile itself
(after building and installing it in the alternate directory
@file{/local/gnu}), you might use

@cartouche
@example
@b{make CC=/local/gnu/H-sun4/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-O}
@end example
@end cartouche

The conventional targets @samp{all}, @samp{install}, and @samp{clean}
are supported at all levels of @file{Makefile}.  Other targets are
supported as well, as appropriate in each directory; please read the
individual @file{Makefile} for details.  Each @file{Makefile} in the
source directories includes ample comments to help you read it.  If you
are not familiar with @code{make}, refer to @ref{Overview,,Overview of
@code{make}, make.info, GNU Make: A Program for Directing
Recompilation}.

@node Installation,  , Compilation, Rebuilding
@unnumberedsec Installation

Whether you configure an alternative path using @code{-prefix}, or you
use the default installation path @file{/usr/local}, you can install the
software by executing:

@cartouche
@example
@b{make install}
@end example
@end cartouche

@node Removing, Cygnus-FSF, Rebuilding, Top
@unnumbered Removing Parts of the Developer's Kit
You can use the @code{pkgrm} command to remove either part of this
release from where @code{pkgadd} installed it.

To do this, call @code{pkgrm} with either or both of the arguments
@samp{GNUDEVTkit} (to remove binaries) or @samp{GNUDEVTsrc} (to remove
source).  For example, suppose you never look at the source, and are
running short of disk space; you can remove the source, while leaving
the rest of the Progressive Release undisturbed, as follows:

@cartouche
@example
eg# @b{/usr/sbin/pkgrm GNUDEVTsrc}
@end example
@end cartouche

To remove the complete Progressive Release of the Developer's Kit from
your system (if, eventually, you no longer want it), specify both
package names as arguments to @code{pkgrm}

@unnumbered Cygnus Releases and the FSF

Most of the tools in this Developer's Kit are originally from the Free
Software Foundation (FSF).  You can get versions of all these tools
from the FSF as well as from Cygnus.  In general, Cygnus Progressive
Releases add to FSF software in the following ways:
@c UPDATE! more differences bet Cygnus/FSF releases?

@itemize @bullet
@item
Commercial support is available.  Cygnus adds value to FSF releases in
large measure by offering outstanding support services.
@item
Coordination.  The tools in your Developer's Kit are certified to work
together; you need not worry about tools being out of step with each other.
@item
Bug fixes.  A Progressive Release includes many fixes, already integrated
into the programs.  Cygnus repairs bugs discovered during testing, and
also tracks and includes bug fixes developed for other Cygnus customers
or distributed over the Internet.
@item
Bug reporting.  Cygnus releases include the tool @code{send_pr}, which
you can use to make sure your problem reports receive prompt attention,
and are also incorporated in our future tests.
@item
Documentation.  Cygnus revises and adds to available FSF
documentation to give you better descriptions of all the software tools.
@item
Stability.  Cygnus tests (and uses) all the programs it releases.

@unnumbered About Cygnus Support

Cygnus Support was founded in 1989 to provide commercial support for
free software.  Cygnus supplies products and services that benefit
advanced development groups by allowing them to use state-of-the-art
tools without having to maintain them.  With Cygnus Support, sites that
once were forced to do their own tool support can recover that valuable
staff time.  Former users of proprietary software now may choose
supported free software, combining the advantages of both worlds.

Free software is faster, more powerful, and more portable than its
proprietary counterparts.  It evolves faster because users who want to
make improvements are free to do so.  Cygnus tracks these
improvements and integrates them into tested, stable versions ready
for commercial use, then backs this software with comprehensive
support.

With Cygnus Support as your partner, you will have the software and
the support you need to meet your business objectives.  Cygnus
is intimately familiar with this software from extensive experience
using, debugging, and implementing it.  You get direct access to the
most qualified support people: the authors of the software.

We provide ``vintage'' releases---the most stable versions, which have
been though even more extensive use and testing---or up-to-the minute
``progressive'' releases, for those who need the very latest version.

Because all our improvements are also free software, you can
distribute them widely within your organization, or to your customers,
without extra cost.
