The sparc-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
|
|
"sparc" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
|
|
out as follows:
|
|
|
|
.../NetBSD-_VER/sparc/
|
|
|

The NetBSD/sparc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
|
|
comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the sparc. There are seven binary
|
|
distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
|
|
distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "sparc/binary"
|
|
subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows:
|
|
|
|
base The NetBSD/sparc _VER base binary distribution. You
|
|
MUST install this distribution set. It contains the
|
|
base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the
|
|
system to run and be minimally functional. It
|
|
includes shared library support, and excludes
|
|
everything described below.
|
|
[ 10.4M gzipped, 31.3M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
comp The NetBSD/sparc Compiler tools. All of the tools
|
|
relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!).
|
|
This set includes the system include files
|
|
(/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain,
|
|
and the various system libraries (except the shared
|
|
libraries, which are included as part of the base
|
|
set). This set also includes the manual pages for all
|
|
of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
|
|
call and library manual pages.
|
|
[ 7.9M gzipped, 28.0M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
etc This distribution set contains the system
|
|
configuration files that reside in /etc and in several
|
|
other places. This set MUST be installed if you are
|
|
installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be
|
|
used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading,
|
|
it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and
|
|
CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.)
|
|
[ 57K gzipped, 348K uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
games This set includes the games and their manual pages.
|
|
[ 3.1M gzipped, 7.8M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
man This set includes all of the manual pages for the
|
|
binaries and other software contained in the base set.
|
|
Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
|
|
that are included in the other sets.
|
|
[ 2.5M gzipped, 10.4M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
|
|
rather large), the typesettable document set, and
|
|
man pages for other architectures which happen to be
|
|
installed from the source tree by default.
|
|
[ 2.2M gzipped, 8.6M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
|
|
including groff, all related programs, and their
|
|
manual pages.
|
|
[ 1.0M gzipped, 4.0M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
xbase This set includes X11R6.3 programs, libraries and manual
|
|
pages.
|
|
[ 2.8M gzipped, 8.8M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
xcomp This set includes X11R6.3 header files, static libraries
|
|
and manual pages needed to compile X Windows programs.
|
|
[ 1.8M gzipped, 7.7M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
xcontrib This set is the X11R6.3 contributed software collection,
|
|
made up from programs in the contrib distribution.
|
|
[ 0.2M gzipped, 0.7M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|

|
manual pages.

|
|
|
|
The sparc security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found
|
|
in the "sparc/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution
|
|
tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption
|
|
algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found
|
|
on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that
|
|
can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, it
|
|
may not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the
|
|
United States and Canada.) [ 127K gzipped, 337K uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
The sparc binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
|
|
the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
|
|
form a gzipped tar file. Each sparc binary distribution set also has
|
|
its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. The
|
|
binary sets are "rooted" at /, that is, if you want to extract the
|
|
binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with
|
|
them, you have to run the "tar xfp" from /. Also note that if you
|
|
upgrade or install this way, those programs that you are using at the
|
|
time will NOT be replaced. If you follow the normal installation or
|
|
upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for you.
|
|
|
|
Note the distribution cannot be extracted using the SunOS "tar" program so
|
|
SunOS statically-linked versions of gzip (GNU gzip) and gtar (GNU tar)
|
|
are provided in `sparc/installation/misc'.
