Organization of Sources:
|
||||
|
||||
This directory hierarchy is using an organization that separates
|
||||
crypto source for programs that we have obtained from external third
|
||||
parties (where NetBSD is not the primary maintainer) from the system
|
||||
source.
|
||||
|
||||
This README file is derived from the README file in src/external.
|
||||
|
||||
The hierarchy is grouped by license, and then package per license,
|
||||
and is organized as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
external/
|
||||
|
||||
Makefile
|
||||
Descend into the license sub-directories.
|
||||
|
||||
<license>/
|
||||
Per-license sub-directories.
|
||||
|
||||
Makefile
|
||||
Descend into the package sub-directories.
|
||||
|
||||
<package>/
|
||||
Per-package sub-directories.
|
||||
|
||||
Makefile
|
||||
Build the package.
|
||||
|
||||
dist/
|
||||
The third-party source for a given package.
|
||||
|
||||
bin/
|
||||
lib/
|
||||
sbin/
|
||||
BSD makefiles "reach over" from these into
|
||||
"../dist/".
|
||||
|
||||
This arrangement allows for packages to be easily disabled or
|
||||
excised as necessary, either on a per-license or per-package basis.
|
||||
|
||||
The licenses currently used are:
|
||||
|
||||
bsd BSD (or equivalent) licensed software, possibly with
|
||||
the "advertising clause".
|
||||
|
||||
If a package has components covered by different licenses
|
||||
(for example, GPL2 and the LGPL), use the <license> subdirectory
|
||||
for the more restrictive license.
|
||||
|
||||
If a package allows the choice of a license to use, we'll
|
||||
generally use the less restrictive license.
|
||||
|
||||
If in doubt about where a package should be located, please
|
||||
contact <core@NetBSD.org> for advice.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Migration Strategy:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Eventually src/dist (and associated framework in other base source
|
||||
directories) and src/gnu will be migrated to this hierarchy.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Maintenance Strategy:
|
||||
|
||||
The sources under src/external/<license>/<package>/dist/ are
|
||||
generally a combination of a published distribution plus changes
|
||||
that we submit to the maintainers and that are not yet published
|
||||
by them.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure all changes made to the external sources are submitted
|
||||
to the appropriate maintainer, but only after coordinating with
|
||||
the NetBSD maintainers.
