A few things have solidified since the previous documents in this directory.
|

|
|
This document will serve to contain late-breaking news until the other
|
||
|
|
documents can be updated.

Package names
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Package names are of the following form:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<set>-<pkg>-<part>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<set> is always the containing set.
|
||
|
|
<pkg> is the software component (util, sendmail, games)
|
||
|
|
<part> is a division of a package into parts. This allows
|
||
|
|
users to normally install all parts, but specialize
|
||
|
|
if desired.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SUSHI and sysinst will be made aware of this naming scheme, so that they
|
||
|
|
can be made to offer, eg, to allow users to install `rcs' or to zoom
|
||
|
|
in and install `base-rcs-bin' and not `base-rcs-man'. This is in addition
|
||
|
|
to the bundling of packages into `package sets' corresponding to the
|
||
|
|
existing tarball sets for rapid sysinst-based installs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Package Divisions
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following strategy is being taken for division of the `base' package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First off, utilities are divided into a few big packages based on the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
directories base-sys-root, base-sys-usr
|
||
|
|
/bin base-util-root
|
||
|
|
/sbin base-sysutil-root
|
||
|
|
/usr/bin base-util-bin
|
||
|
|
/usr/lib base-sys-shlib
|
||
|
|
/usr/sbin base-sysutil-bin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
supporting files are named based on the utilities they match (with the <part> changed).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then, groups of utilities which are either likely to not be installed (UUCP, SLIP) or
|
||
|
|
distinct from other utilities (postfix, sendmail, bind) are separated from the above.
