Subject: distribution sets, etc... Date: Mon, 18 Jul 1994 05:02:11 -0400 From: "Chris G. Demetriou" Status: R [ this is also going in a README in the 'sets' directory... ] well, i've finally sat down and started doing distribution set stuff in a "nice, machine-independent way." Should have done it months ago, but too much other stuff going on then... anyway, grab ~cgd/sets.tar.gz -- it's three scripts, and a bunch of files. the scripts should be run from the directory where they reside. makeflist: output the list of files that should be in a distribution, according to the contents of the 'lists' directory. checkflist: check the file list (as internally generated by makeflist) against the tree living in $DESTDIR. (that tree should be made with 'make distribution'.) maketars: make tarballs of the various sets in the distribution, based on the contents of the lists, the tree in $DESTDIR, and put the tarballs in $RELEASEDIR. Note that this script _doesn't_ create the 'secr' distribution, because (for now) it requires manual intervention to get the binaries right... (i'll add another script to create that dist, later.) what's in 'lists': lists describing file sets. There are two sets of lists per file set: machine dependent and machine-independent files. (there's also another file in the 'man' dir, which is used by the 'man' and 'misc' sets, but that's explained later.) There is one machine-independent file, named "mi". There are N machine-dependent files (one per architecture), named "md.${ARCH}". the sets are as follows: secr: security software -- the non-exportable bits, i.e. those that actually use crypt, and have it compiled in. base: the base binary set. excludes everything described below. comp: compiler tools. All of the tools relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!) that are in the tree. This includes includes, the linker, tool chain, and the .a versions of the libraries. (obviously, base includes ldd, ld.so, and the shared versions. base also includes 'cpp', because that's used by X11.) includes the man pages for all the binaries contained within. Also, includes all library and system call manual pages. etc: /etc, and associated files (/var/cron/tabs, /root, etc.). things that shouldn't be blindly reinstalled on an upgrade. games: the games and their man pages. man: all of the man pages for the system, except those listed elsewhere (e.g. in comp, games, misc, text). Includes machine-dependent man pages for this CPU. misc: share/dict, share/doc, and the machine-dependent man pages for other cpu's which happen to always be installed. text: text processing tools. groff and all of its friends. includes man pages for all bins contained within. as noted, in addition to the "standard" files in each dir, there's a file called 'md_share' in lists/man. it's the list of man pages that are installed from /usr/src/share, which are machine-dependent. (note that ones that are installed from elsewhere, and thus are installed on only one architecture, are listed in the md.${ARCH} file.) basically, it's grepped through, to see which of the machine-dependent man pages that are always installed should go in the 'man' set, and which should go into the 'misc' set. I've made attempts to get the md files for the amiga, i386, hp300, pc532, and sparc done. I've not attempted the rest (though there are empty files for all architectures except the da30, in the various directories). I think i got the amiga, i386, and sparc done correctly, but i know that (because of weirdnesses in how their last snapshots were built) i didn't get hp300 or pc532 done right. what you folks need to do: run 'checkflist' on a tree that you've created with 'make distribution'. send me the output, and i'll take care of putting stuff on the right lists for you. In the future, you'll get to do it yourselves, as you add programs and include files, but i'd prefer to do it the first time (unless you really want to do it yourself -- in that case, please ask me to check your suggestions re: the appropriate sets for things...) There should be a minimal list output by checkflist -- it should all be things that _should_ be on your lsits, but aren't, i.e. machine-dependent binaries, man pages, and include files. Also, please look through the lists, and tell me if you think i've put anything in the wrong place. i think i've taken care of all of the machine-dependence bugaboos, by doing it for the N architectures, but i'm not _sure_... 8-) thanks, chris
