If you are one of the few who picked up wwwstat-1.0 before or
oldlog2new before 6am PST (GMT -0700) this morning, you should apply
the following minor patch. The change is so that wwwstat and oldlog2new
correctly handle leading zeros in the day number of the new log format.
Note that this will not have any effect on wwwstat processing until your
1.2 server gets to the first of next month, and so old logs already
converted do not need to be fixed (unless you really want to).
To apply a patch, save the stuff between the "---" lines below to
a file called patch10to101.txt, move that file to the wwwstat-1.0
directory, and then do the command:
% patch < patch10to101.txt
If you do not have the patch program, just get a new copy of the distribution
from
http://www.ics.uci.edu/WebSoft/wwwstat/
or ftp://liege.ics.uci.edu/pub/arcadia/wwwstat/
patch10to101.txt is:
