-I have set up a repository with BitKeeper on work. There are still some things
-about it that I would like to learn, but I have gotten far enough with it to
-replace CVS functionality were are currently using, so let's just go ahead and
-get started on it. Please follow the instructions below (make sure to save the
-message for future reference):
-
-a) http://www.bitmover.com/download
-        user: beta
-        password: get bitkeeper
-
-  get the version appropriate for your platform - download it to a temp
-directory, chmod +x  and then run it. You will have to tell it which directory
-to install, for consistency, let's use /usr/local/bin
-
-b) we will take advantage of bk capablity of working with master/slave
-repositories. The master will be on work.mysql.com, the slaves will be our
-individual machines. The master repository has already been set up on work, so
-you will need just to set up a slave repository on your machine:
-
-  mkdir bk
-  cd bk
-  bk clone yourusername@work:/home/bk/mysql mysql
-  cd mysql
-  bk -r edit
-
-Now you have the entire source tree in the current directory. Let's compile it:
-
- BUILD/compile-pentium-debug
- 
-C) Windows project. 
-   - Compile Linux-project (see points above)
-   - run VC++Files/prepare
-   - make repository accessible for Windows (using samba)
-   - open VC++Files/mysql.dsw in Microsoft Visual Stidio (5.0 or above)
-
-After you edit a file, you need to check it in using bk citool or bk ci
-filename. Note that ci is different than commit - you ci a file, but you commit
-a change set. This is a very nice concept - instead of thinking of each
-individual file as CVS does, bk groups the changes you are making and allows you
-to document what you actually did between the commits as a whole, rather than
-just commenting on every file. When you commit, bk will ask you to comment on
-the change set.
-
-Commit is done just to your local repository. To make your changes global, you
-will need to run bk push. Be careful with that - it is a good idea to run bk
-push -l -n first too see what you are just about to push to the master
-repository.
-
-When somebody does a push, you will be getting a email ( I will set this up to
-day). You will then need to execute bk pull to update your sources. If there are
-any conflicts, bk will force you to resolve them by asking you questions on what
-to do with each conflict.
-
-To learn more about bk, use bk helptool - I will be doing this a lot in the next
-couple of days :-) If you find bugs or have questions/feature
-suggestions/comments for developers, feel free to e-mail dev@bitmover.com .
-Their developers, and especially the president of the company Larry McVoy really
-like MySQL and are very anxious to help us. Make sure it is obvious that you
-work for MySQL, of course. And, of course, do not bug them with little things
-that you can figure out on your own or with my help - they were nice to offer us
-support, but we should not abuse it.

 Notes on compiling glibc for the standard MySQL binary:
 
  - make sure you have gcc 2.95 and gmake 3.79 or newer

-	- Get and set working directory
-
- string my_tempnam _A((const char *pfx,myf MyFlags));
-	- Make a uniq temp file name by using dir and adding something after
-	 pfx to make name uniq. Name is made by adding a uniq 6 length-string
-	 and TMP_EXT after pfx.
-	 Returns pointer to malloced area for filename. Should be freed by
-	 free().
-
- File my_open _A((const char *FileName,int Flags,myf MyFlags));

-			 myf MyFlags));
- ulong my_seek _A((File fd,ulong pos,int whence,myf MyFlags));
- ulong my_tell _A((File fd,myf MyFlags));
-	- Use instead of open,open-with-create-flag, close read and write
-	  to get automatic error-messages (flag: MYF_WME) and only have
-	  to test for != 0 if error (flag: MY_NABP).
-
- int my_rename _A((const char *from,const char *to,myf MyFlags));
-	- Rename file
-
- FILE *my_fopen _A((const char *FileName,int Flags,myf MyFlags));

-			  myf MyFlags));
- ulong my_fseek _A((FILE *stream,ulong pos,int whence,myf MyFlags));
- ulong my_ftell _A((FILE *stream,myf MyFlags));
-	- Same read-interface for streams as for files
-

-	  with -DSAFEMALLOC
