 101                               <p>Fixed bug in build_view:</p>
 102
 103 <p>Fixed problem counting errors in output. This is a common problem: How do you distinguish between real errors and file elements or variable that contain the string "error". The approach was:</p>
 104
 105 <tt>
 106 errors=$(grep -i error $card.build.log | grep -v "Errors: 0" | grep -vc "cli_errors.c")
 107 </tt>
 108
 109 <p>which looks for errors in general, weeds out the "Errors: 0" that the NP complier puts out and then makes an exception for the file element named cli_errors.c. Well with onu2311 comes new output that contains the string "error" but is not an error. Notably:</p>
 110
 111 <tt>
 112 dmt_main.c: In function `reportErrorPort':<br>
 113 dmt_main.c:274: warning: implicit declaration of function `resetPortErrorCounts'
 114 </tt>
 115
 116 <p>For now we will make an exceptions for "ErrorPort" and "PortError" but this is not an ideal solution to the problem in general.</p>

 154                               <p>Was trying to get all of my WebSAM testing completed but was not able to. Got kicked onto another test system and that one had problems. Luckily Asad and Jeff helped fix things up for me. Got a lot done but may need to do more tomorrow.</p>
 155
 156 <h3>2.3.0.4 releaseed</h3>
 157
 158 <p>2.3.0.4 bring in the FX branch into the 2.3 release line. It also has fairly major functionality identified by bug ID 3605 (287 elements changed!) and a new card, onu2311.</p>
 159
 160 <p>Please let me know when you guys and gals make a new card! While updating the makefile will indeed insure that the new card is build when one types make, I use scripts and processes that rely on the definition of <i>cards</i> defined in /Tools/adm/etc/cards and need to update that file when a new card appears. Thanks.</p>
 161
 162 <p>Regarding the FX branch: The FX branch was a temporary branch for engineers to work on until 2.3 stablized. As such, with it's successful merge I plan on <font color="red"><b>destroying</b></font> both us_fx and china_fx branches. A destroy means that <i>the branch, element versions on that branches,  any labels on those element versions and merge arrows to and from the FX branches will <b>disappear</b></i>. It will be as if suddenly a bunch of new FX related code got checked into the 2.3 release line. Since the FX branch was indeed temporary I don't see any problem with destroying it though. Let me know if you have any objection to this.</p>
 163
 164 <p>Before I destroy the FX branches however Hok has to check in his code and merge it to 2.4.</p>

 238
 239 <p>Meantime I've been trying to figure out why sometimes the build process says all is OK when there are build errors. Turns out to be a shell problem with tee. When building I'm doing:</p>
 240
 241 <pre>
 242 $ make $card.sf 2>&1 | tee -a $teefile > $card.build.log

 255
 256 <p>Worked out remaining merge issues on other branches. These were largely "can't check in identical file" type problems.</p>
 257
 258 <p>Attempted an FX -> 2.3 merge. Only like 40 elements to merge but some manual merging was required. Due to 2.3.0.3 build for KDDI this was put on hold. Need to merge this then allow Hok to check in before destroying this branch.</p>
