for more information about this patch.

For users of the source code installation:
A patch installer script is available to aid you in updating your existing
6.35 source code installation. To use it, simply
download the script
, save it in the directory containing your existing heasoft-6.35 source
code folder, initialize HEASOFT, and then run it:
sh hdpatch_6.35.1
This script will retrieve the necessary patch file (requires wget),
then rebuild and re-install all relevant components. Note that any
components not included in your original download will be ignored.
It may take a while to finish, so please be patient while it runs.
-
For users of a pre-compiled binary installation:
Choose the appropriate tar file from the list below and unpack it
under your existing heasoft-6.35 binary folder.
If successful, the task fversion should report v6.35.1,
and the task extractor should report v6.17.
