Demetriou" <cgd (a] alpha.bostic.com> 15 Status: R 16 17 [ this is also going in a README in the 'sets' directory... ] 18 19 well, i've finally sat down and started doing distribution set 20 stuff in a "nice, machine-independent way." Should have done 21 it months ago, but too much other stuff going on then... 22 23 anyway, grab ~cgd/sets.tar.gz -- it's three scripts, and a bunch 24 of files. 25 26 the scripts should be run from the directory where they reside. 27 28 makeflist: output the list of files that should be in a 29 distribution, according to the contents of the 30 'lists' directory. 31 32 checkflist: check the file list (as internally generated 33 by makeflist) against the tree living in $DESTDIR. 34 (that tree should be made with 'make distribution'.) 35 36 maketars: make tarballs of the various sets in the distribution, 37 based on the contents of the lists, the tree in 38 $DESTDIR, and put the tarballs in $RELEASEDIR. 39 Note that this script _doesn't_ create the 'secr' 40 distribution, because (for now) it requires 41 manual intervention to get the binaries right... 42 (i'll add another script to create that dist, later.) 43 44 what's in 'lists': 45 46 lists describing file sets. There are two sets of lists per file 47 set: machine dependent and machine-independent files. (there's 48 also another file in the 'man' dir, which is used by the 'man' 49 and 'misc' sets, but that's explained later.) 50 51 There is one machine-independent file, named "mi". There are 52 N machine-dependent files (one per architecture), named "md.${ARCH}". 53 54 the sets are as follows: 55 56 secr: security software -- the non-exportable bits, i.e. 57 those that actually use crypt, and have it compiled 58 in. 59 60 base: the base binary set. excludes everything described 61 below. 62 63 comp: compiler tools. All of the tools relating to C, C++, 64 and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!) that are in the 65 tree. This includes includes, the linker, tool chain, 66 and the .a versions of the libraries. (obviously, 67 base includes ldd, ld.so, and the shared versions. 68 base also includes 'cpp', because that's used by X11.) 69 includes the man pages for all the binaries contained 70 within. Also, includes all library and system call 71 manual pages. 72 73 etc: /etc, and associated files (/var/cron/tabs, /root, 74 etc.). things that shouldn't be blindly reinstalled 75 on an upgrade. 76 77 games: the games and their man pages. 78 79 man: all of the man pages for the system, except those 80 listed elsewhere (e.g. in comp, games, misc, text). 81 Includes machine-dependent man pages for this CPU. 82 83 misc: share/dict, share/doc, and the machine-dependent 84 man pages for other cpu's which happen to always 85 be installed. 86 87 text: text processing tools. groff and all of its friends. 88 includes man pages for all bins contained within. 89 90 91 as noted, in addition to the "standard" files in each dir, there's 92 a file called 'md_share' in lists/man. it's the list of man pages 93 that are installed from /usr/src/share, which are machine-dependent. 94 (note that ones that are installed from elsewhere, and thus are 95 installed on only one architecture, are listed in the md.${ARCH} 96 file.) basically, it's grepped through, to see which of the 97 machine-dependent man pages that are always installed should go 98 in the 'man' set, and which should go into the 'misc' set. 99 100 101 I've made attempts to get the md files for the amiga, i386, hp300, 102 pc532, and sparc done. I've not attempted the rest (though there 103 are empty files for all architectures except the da30, in the 104 various directories). I think i got the amiga, i386, and sparc 105 done correctly, but i know that (because of weirdnesses in how 106 their last snapshots were built) i didn't get hp300 or pc532 107 done right. 108 109 what you folks need to do: 110 111 run 'checkflist' on a tree that you've created with 'make 112 distribution'. send me the output, and i'll take care of putting 113 stuff on the right lists for you. In the future, you'll get 114 to do it yourselves, as you add programs and include files, but 115 i'd prefer to do it the first time (unless you really want to do it 116 yourself -- in that case, please ask me to check your suggestions 117 re: the appropriate sets for things...) There should be a minimal 118 list output by checkflist -- it should all be things that 119 _should_ be on your lsits, but aren't, i.e. machine-dependent 120 binaries, man pages, and include files. 121 122 Also, please look through the lists, and tell me if you think 123 i've put anything in the wrong place. i think i've 124 taken care of all of the machine-dependence bugaboos, by 125 doing it for the N architectures, but i'm not _sure_... 8-) 126 127 128 thanks, 129 130 chris 131 132
