Patches for Antelope Release 4.7 Apple MacOS X

  • qt2orb_1.0 Wednesday April 13, 2005 
    • This fixes an intermittent problem where qt2orb
exits unexpectedly without any apparent errors.
  • orblag.0 Monday July 18, 2005 
    • Assortment of patches in liborb and libstock mostly
to support later patches

* new ORB_IP_ADDRESS environment variable supports machines
   with multiple ip addresses behind a firewall with holes 
   for only one ip address.
* new orblag routine
* handle EINTR in poll
* crc name change for mac
* handle fflush errors in elog routines
* morph routine change for mac
  • orbxfer.0 Tuesday July 19, 2005 
    • This patch has a replacement for orbxfer: orbxfer2. The
new program should be easier to use, and when properly
set up, should avoid problems like over running the output
orb when transferring large files.  The packet format for
orbxfer2 is completely incompatible with the original 
orbxfer.  orbxfer2 uses a parameter file for configuration.
Incoming files are first written to a temporary file
named "filename-" which is then renamed to "filename"
when the copy is complete.  orbxfer2 has no architecture
dependencies, unlike the original.

The new packet type requires an updated version of libPkt.

This patch also includes a new version of orbxfer includes
a variety of minor changes.  However, you should use 
orbxfer2 if possible.
  • cd2orb.0 Tuesday July 19, 2005 
    • This version handles odd input streams more gracefully
and with better diagnostics.
It will also reliably fill in calib and calper from a 
database calibration table into the output cd1 packets.
A parameter file allows selecting the verbosity for each
incoming data stream.
  • db2sd.0 Tuesday July 19, 2005 
    • Fix problem with wrong endtimes in 052 blockettes due to
changes in sitechan (orientation) without corresponding
changes in calibration table.

If fc is less than zero, use zero in the 058 blockettes 
following a new undocumented rule for channels
where the concept of frequency is meaningless.

Update orbxfer2 so that it positions orb read pointer to
earliest packet when state file resurrection fails.
  • dbbuild.0 Tuesday July 19, 2005 
    • New version of dbbuild
* new hierarchical menus for sensor and datalogger
* separate sensor and datalogger gains on gui main panel
* lookup of gains by serial number for sensor and datalogger
* display units in balloon for sensor

** Caution **
   sensor and datalogger parameter files have changed, which 
   means locally generated parameter files must be updated.
  • snapshots_rtmail.0 Tuesday July 19, 2005 
    • Improve snapshots by adding/modifying some of the commands
Add inspect_snapshot script
Make rtmail use the information from site.pf.
  • orb2db.0 Wednesday July 20, 2005 
    • Ungraceful shutdown of orb2db (eg, power failure) results in
unreasonably large values in nsamp and endtime on restart when the
datatype is not sd.  This can cause data to be lost.
  • orb2db.2.0 Monday August 01, 2005 
    • orb2db would die with the message:
  orb2db *fatal*: itrwfdata: unrecognized error
when attempting to fill a gap in data which also had
clip errors.  This patch fixes the error check, and 
orb2db correctly fills the gap.
  • libstock.0 Wednesday August 03, 2005 
    • *** Mac OS X /Darwin only patch ***

The previous orblag patch broke dbpick among other programs
with a change in the link options for libstock.  This 
new version of libstock restores the previous options and
allows dbpick and trdisp to run on the Mac.  Other architectures
are not affected.
  • orbtail_orbmsd2days.0 Thursday August 11, 2005 
    • orbtail
   Fix a memory leak

orbmsd2days
   Make state file and positioning functional
   add -c option, correct -m and -r options
   allow absolute paths for -w option
  • seed_orb2db.0 Friday October 07, 2005 
    • *) correct a bug which led to a negative amplitude in
a PAZ stage in a seed volume when the normalization constant
for that stage was negative.

*) provide loadable b051 and b059 tables under the css3.0
schema to allow more easily creating comments in a seed
volume with sd2db and make_dataless_seed.

*) correct a problem when trying to use option to screen
out packets which are too old or too new.
  • 64bitmem_on_mac.0 Friday October 07, 2005 
    • Properly measure physical memory over 4 Gbytes on macintosh
  • antelope_update.0 Monday January 30, 2006 
    • Fix various problems which can prevent patches from being
properly installed, although the program seems to 
indicate otherwise.  These are particularly noticeable on 
the Macintosh and on 64 bit Linux systems.
