Vgit on OpenVMS AXP 8.4-2L1

Post by joukj » Wed Dec 15, 2021 5:18 am

Hi,

I have problems running vgit v1.x on OpenVMS AXP 8.4-2L1. version 0.9x works. The problem seems to be the CRTL which is too old on my system. (For IA64 I found the patch files with the OpenJDK distribution)

Question : are the nescessary patches available for hobyist systems?

regards
Jouk

Hi Jouk,

Only some security patches are currently available for community use. We will discuss adding CRTL updates to the commmunity program, at least for Alpha, as no major updates are currently planned for OpenVMS for Alpha.

Kind regards,

Hi Jouk,

We have discussed making the CRTL-related ecokits for V8.4-2L1 available for community use, and everything required to install the latest version of CRTL on 2L1 was uploaded to the server:

Code: Select all

sftp> ls
ALPHA0842L.HASH                  ALPHA0842L1.ZIP                  ALPHA0842L1.ZIPEXE               ALPHA0842L1DOC.HASH              ALPHA0842L1DOC.ZIP               ALPHA0842L1DOC.ZIPEXE            ALPHA0842L1DOC_ZIP.HASH
ALPHA0842L1_ZIP.HASH             AVMS842L1DOC.HASH                AVMS842L1DOC.ZIP                 AVMS842L1DOC.ZIPEXE              AVMS842L1DOC_ZIP.HASH            LPS.DIR                          VMS842L1A_DPML-V0100.TXT
VMS842L1A_DPML-V0100.ZIPEXE      VMS842L1A_DPML-V0100.ZIPEXE_VNC  VMS842L1A_RTL-V0300.TXT          VMS842L1A_RTL-V0300.ZIPEXE       VMS842L1A_RTL-V0300.ZIPEXE_VNC
So please check if VGIT works for you with these patches installed.

Thank you,
