Demetriou" 7 1.4.2.2 thorpej 8 1.4.2.2 thorpej [ this is also going in a README in the 'sets' directory... ] 9 1.4.2.2 thorpej 10 1.4.2.2 thorpej well, i've finally sat down and started doing distribution set 11 1.4.2.2 thorpej stuff in a "nice, machine-independent way." Should have done 12 1.4.2.2 thorpej it months ago, but too much other stuff going on then... 13 1.4.2.2 thorpej 14 1.4.2.2 thorpej anyway, grab ~cgd/sets.tar.gz -- it's three scripts, and a bunch 15 1.4.2.2 thorpej of files. 16 1.4.2.2 thorpej 17 1.4.2.2 thorpej the scripts should be run from the directory where they reside. 18 1.4.2.2 thorpej 19 1.4.2.2 thorpej makeflist: output the list of files that should be in a 20 1.4.2.2 thorpej distribution, according to the contents of the 21 1.4.2.2 thorpej 'lists' directory. 22 1.4.2.2 thorpej 23 1.4.2.2 thorpej checkflist: check the file list (as internally generated 24 1.4.2.2 thorpej by makeflist) against the tree living in $DESTDIR. 25 1.4.2.2 thorpej (that tree should be made with 'make distribution'.) 26 1.4.2.2 thorpej 27 1.4.2.2 thorpej maketars: make tarballs of the various sets in the distribution, 28 1.4.2.2 thorpej based on the contents of the lists, the tree in 29 1.4.2.2 thorpej $DESTDIR, and put the tarballs in $RELEASEDIR. 30 1.4.2.2 thorpej Note that this script _doesn't_ create the 'secr' 31 1.4.2.2 thorpej distribution, because (for now) it requires 32 1.4.2.2 thorpej manual intervention to get the binaries right... 33 1.4.2.2 thorpej (i'll add another script to create that dist, later.) 34 1.4.2.2 thorpej 35 1.4.2.2 thorpej what's in 'lists': 36 1.4.2.2 thorpej 37 1.4.2.2 thorpej lists describing file sets. There are two sets of lists per file 38 1.4.2.2 thorpej set: machine dependent and machine-independent files. (there's 39 1.4.2.2 thorpej also another file in the 'man' dir, which is used by the 'man' 40 1.4.2.2 thorpej and 'misc' sets, but that's explained later.) 41 1.4.2.2 thorpej 42 1.4.2.2 thorpej There is one machine-independent file, named "mi". There are 43 1.4.2.2 thorpej N machine-dependent files (one per architecture), named "md.${ARCH}". 44 1.4.2.2 thorpej 45 1.4.2.2 thorpej the sets are as follows: 46 1.4.2.2 thorpej 47 1.4.2.2 thorpej base: the base binary set. excludes everything described 48 1.4.2.2 thorpej below. 49 1.4.2.2 thorpej 50 1.4.2.2 thorpej comp: compiler tools. All of the tools relating to C, C++, 51 1.4.2.2 thorpej and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!) that are in the 52 1.4.2.2 thorpej tree. This includes includes, the linker, tool chain, 53 1.4.2.2 thorpej and the .a versions of the libraries. (obviously, 54 1.4.2.2 thorpej base includes ldd, ld.so, and the shared versions. 55 1.4.2.2 thorpej base also includes 'cpp', because that's used by X11.) 56 1.4.2.2 thorpej includes the man pages for all the binaries contained 57 1.4.2.2 thorpej within. Also, includes all library and system call 58 1.4.2.2 thorpej manual pages. 59 1.4.2.2 thorpej 60 1.4.2.2 thorpej etc: /etc, and associated files (/var/cron/tabs, /root, 61 1.4.2.2 thorpej etc.). things that shouldn't be blindly reinstalled 62 1.4.2.2 thorpej on an upgrade. 63 1.4.2.2 thorpej 64 1.4.2.2 thorpej games: the games and their man pages. 65 1.4.2.2 thorpej 66 1.4.2.2 thorpej man: all of the man pages for the system, except those 67 1.4.2.2 thorpej listed elsewhere (e.g. in comp, games, misc, text). 68 1.4.2.2 thorpej Includes machine-dependent man pages for this CPU. 69 1.4.2.2 thorpej 70 1.4.2.2 thorpej misc: share/dict, share/doc, and the machine-dependent 71 1.4.2.2 thorpej man pages for other cpu's which happen to always 72 1.4.2.2 thorpej be installed. 73 1.4.2.2 thorpej 74 1.4.2.2 thorpej text: text processing tools. groff and all of its friends. 75 1.4.2.2 thorpej includes man pages for all bins contained within. 76 1.4.2.2 thorpej 77 1.4.2.2 thorpej 78 1.4.2.2 thorpej as noted, in addition to the "standard" files in each dir, there's 79 1.4.2.2 thorpej a file called 'md_share' in lists/man. it's the list of man pages 80 1.4.2.2 thorpej that are installed from /usr/src/share, which are machine-dependent. 81 1.4.2.2 thorpej (note that ones that are installed from elsewhere, and thus are 82 1.4.2.2 thorpej installed on only one architecture, are listed in the md.${ARCH} 83 1.4.2.2 thorpej file.) basically, it's grepped through, to see which of the 84 1.4.2.2 thorpej machine-dependent man pages that are always installed should go 85 1.4.2.2 thorpej in the 'man' set, and which should go into the 'misc' set. 86 1.4.2.2 thorpej 87 1.4.2.2 thorpej 88 1.4.2.2 thorpej I've made attempts to get the md files for the amiga, i386, hp300, 89 1.4.2.2 thorpej pc532, and sparc done. I've not attempted the rest (though there 90 1.4.2.2 thorpej are empty files for all architectures except the da30, in the 91 1.4.2.2 thorpej various directories). I think i got the amiga, i386, and sparc 92 1.4.2.2 thorpej done correctly, but i know that (because of weirdnesses in how 93 1.4.2.2 thorpej their last snapshots were built) i didn't get hp300 or pc532 94 1.4.2.2 thorpej done right. 95 1.4.2.2 thorpej 96 1.4.2.2 thorpej what you folks need to do: 97 1.4.2.2 thorpej 98 1.4.2.2 thorpej run 'checkflist' on a tree that you've created with 'make 99 1.4.2.2 thorpej distribution'. send me the output, and i'll take care of putting 100 1.4.2.2 thorpej stuff on the right lists for you. In the future, you'll get 101 1.4.2.2 thorpej to do it yourselves, as you add programs and include files, but 102 1.4.2.2 thorpej i'd prefer to do it the first time (unless you really want to do it 103 1.4.2.2 thorpej yourself -- in that case, please ask me to check your suggestions 104 1.4.2.2 thorpej re: the appropriate sets for things...) There should be a minimal 105 1.4.2.2 thorpej list output by checkflist -- it should all be things that 106 1.4.2.2 thorpej _should_ be on your lsits, but aren't, i.e. machine-dependent 107 1.4.2.2 thorpej binaries, man pages, and include files. 108 1.4.2.2 thorpej 109 1.4.2.2 thorpej Also, please look through the lists, and tell me if you think 110 1.4.2.2 thorpej i've put anything in the wrong place. i think i've 111 1.4.2.2 thorpej taken care of all of the machine-dependence bugaboos, by 112 1.4.2.2 thorpej doing it for the N architectures, but i'm not _sure_... 8-) 113 1.4.2.2 thorpej 114 1.4.2.2 thorpej 115 1.4.2.2 thorpej thanks, 116 1.4.2.2 thorpej 117 1.4.2.2 thorpej chris 118 1.4.2.2 thorpej 119
