heads-up: complaints from "check lists of files"

Subject: heads-up: complaints from "check lists of files"

My putback last Sunday (13 November) for 6346595 can lead to warnings in
the "check lists of files" output from nightly(1).  For example:

==== Check lists of files ====

/export5/my_ws/usr/src/tools/findunref/exception_list:35: ./src/OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE
/export5/my_ws/usr/src/tools/findunref/exception_list:48: ./src/cmd/oawk/EXPLAIN
/export5/my_ws/usr/src/tools/findunref/exception_list:49: ./src/cmd/rpcsvc/nis/rpc.nisd/resolv_server/DNS_FWD
/export5/my_ws/usr/src/tools/findunref/exception_list:50: ./src/cmd/vi/port/ex.news
/export5/my_ws/usr/src/tools/findunref/exception_list:51: ./src/uts/common/io/dktp/controller/ata/capacity.notes

(etc.)

My apologies for that.  You'll get these messages if you use the old
tools on a post-6346595 workspace.  You'll get similar messages if you
use the new tools on a pre-6346595 workspace.  The messages are
annoying, but they don't indicate a problem with your build.

My earlier heads-up mail neglected to mention that checkpaths(1) got
updated, as well as nightly(1) and wx(1).  So even if you use the
nightly(1) that corresponds to your workspace, you could still get the
errors because of an old checkpaths(1).  If you have a local /opt/onbld
installed, upgrading to the latest SUNWonbld (available from
/ws/onnv-gate/public/packages) should make the messages go away.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
