[Queue-developers] Queue 1.12.9 stable released on SourceForge

[Werner G. K. <wer...@ya...>]

After vowing never to put out another version of Queue with the old NFS
mechanism, here is another one.

This one replaces the OS-dependent load average code in queued.c with a
call to getloadavg() from GNU Emacs, as suggested by Dan Nicolaescu
<da...@ic...>.

This should eliminate the problems Solaris and other users were having
with this code.

The new version is available for download from SourceForge.at
http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=5605 .

I've also updated queued.c to reflect this changed in the
'queue-development' branch of the CVS repository on SourceForge; check
the project's SourceForge page for more details.

Please let me know if anyone catches any last-minute problems before
I start wrapping this up into a distribution on the GNU ftp mirrors.


>From the Changelog:



*May 17, 2000        Werner G. Krebs <wk...@gn...>

        1.12.9 rolled out.

        As suggested by Dan Nicolaescu <da...@ic...>, removed
OS-dependent load-average
        code in getloadf() in queued.c. Instead, changed queued.c to
obtain load averages
        using getloadavg.c from GNU Emacs distribution, which now
handles the OS-dependent work.

        This should fix the problem Solaris users were having with GNU
Queue.

        Updated the documentation (README, Install, and pages in doc) to

reflect GNU Queue's status
        as a member of SourceForge. Changed unofficial homepage to
http://queue.sourceforge.net, and
        changed information on mailing list subscription.
