.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm release
|
|
.Nd layout of NetBSD releases and snapshots
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This document describes the layout of
|
|
.Nx
|
|
releases and snapshots.
|
|
This layout should be consistent between FTP servers and CD-ROMs,
|
|
except possibly the path that leads to the release hierarchy.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In this document, the following special words have these definitions:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "<machine_arch>"
|
|
.It Em <machine>
|
|
The platform for which the release was built, corresponding to the
|
|
.Em hw.machine
|
|
sysctl variable, e.g.
|
|
.Em i386
|
|
or
|
|
.Em amiga .
|
|
.It Em <machine_arch>
|
|
The architecture for which a particular installation set was built,
|
|
corresponding to the
|
|
.Em hw.machine_arch
|
|
sysctl variable, e.g.
|
|
.Em i386
|
|
or
|
|
.Em m68k .
|
|
.It Em <rel>
|
|
The target release.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All
|
|
.Sy README
|
|
files are descriptions of the various files in directories that have
|
|
.Dq non-standard
|
|
contents.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All
|
|
.Sy BSDSUM
|
|
files are historic
|
|
.Bx
|
|
checksums for the various files in that directory,
|
|
in the format produced by the command:
|
|
.Sy cksum -o 1 <file> .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All
|
|
.Sy CKSUM
|
|
files are POSIX checksums for the various files in that directory, in the
|
|
format produced by the command:
|
|
.Sy cksum <file> .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All
|
|
.Sy MD5
|
|
files are MD5 digests for the various files in that directory, in the
|
|
format produced by the command:
|
|
.Sy cksum -m <file> .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All
|
|
.Sy SYSVSUM
|
|
files are historic
|
|
.At V
|
|
checksums for the various files in
|
|
that directory, in the format produced by the command:
|
|
.Sy cksum -o 2 <file> .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The MD5 digest is the safest checksum, followed by the POSIX checksum.
|
|
The other two checksums are provided only to ensure that the widest possible
|
|
range of system can check the integrity of the release files.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Files that end in
|
|
.Sy .tgz
|
|
are gzipped tar archives. This is used in lieu of
|
|
.Sy .tar.gz
|
|
because the software used to download the sets may incorrectly auto-unpack
|
|
files ending in
|
|
.Sy .gz
|
|
and to accommodate systems which only support 3 character extensions
|
|
to file names.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All tar archives are relative to the target's
|
|
.Sy /
|
|
directory, and
|
|
.Em do not
|
|
include the leading
|
|
.Dq / .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All compression of release files is to be performed with the command:
|
|
.Sy gzip -9 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The root of the release hierarchy is
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.Xo
|
|
.Sy .../NetBSD-
|
|
.Em <rel>
|
|
.Sy /
|
|
.Em <machine>
|
|
.Sy / .
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
For files which may be shared by all systems of the same
|
|
.Em <machine_arch> ,
|
|
(e.g. the
|
|
.Sy games
|
|
and
|
|
.Sy xbase
|
|
sets for m68k-based platforms), this hierarchy will have a second root of
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.Xo
|
|
.Sy .../NetBSD-
|
|
.Em <rel>
|
|
.Sy /
|
|
.Em <machine_arch>
|
|
.Sy /
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
which will contain those files. For files which are completely
|
|
machine-independent (e.g. the
|
|
.Sy xfont
|
|
set), this hierarchy will have a third root of
|
|
.Sy .../NetBSD- Ns Em <rel> Ns Sy /mi/
|
|
which will contain those files.
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all files may be symbolic links to common
|
|
.Em <machine_arch>
|
|
or machine-independent files located in their respective directory
|
|
hierarchies.
|
