17: [ this is also going in a README in the 'sets' directory... ]
18:
19: well, i've finally sat down and started doing distribution set
20: stuff in a "nice, machine-independent way." Should have done
21: it months ago, but too much other stuff going on then...
22:
23: anyway, grab ~cgd/sets.tar.gz -- it's three scripts, and a bunch
24: of files.
25:
26: the scripts should be run from the directory where they reside.
27:
28: makeflist: output the list of files that should be in a
29: distribution, according to the contents of the
30: 'lists' directory.
31:
32: checkflist: check the file list (as internally generated
33: by makeflist) against the tree living in $DESTDIR.
34: (that tree should be made with 'make distribution'.)
35:
36: maketars: make tarballs of the various sets in the distribution,
37: based on the contents of the lists, the tree in
38: $DESTDIR, and put the tarballs in $RELEASEDIR.
39: Note that this script _doesn't_ create the 'secr'
40: distribution, because (for now) it requires
41: manual intervention to get the binaries right...
42: (i'll add another script to create that dist, later.)
43:
44: what's in 'lists':
45:
46: lists describing file sets. There are two sets of lists per file
47: set: machine dependent and machine-independent files. (there's
48: also another file in the 'man' dir, which is used by the 'man'
49: and 'misc' sets, but that's explained later.)
50:
51: There is one machine-independent file, named "mi". There are
52: N machine-dependent files (one per architecture), named "md.${ARCH}".
53:
54: the sets are as follows:
55:
56: secr: security software -- the non-exportable bits, i.e.
57: those that actually use crypt, and have it compiled
58: in.
59:
60: base: the base binary set. excludes everything described
61: below.
62:
63: comp: compiler tools. All of the tools relating to C, C++,
64: and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!) that are in the
65: tree. This includes includes, the linker, tool chain,
66: and the .a versions of the libraries. (obviously,
67: base includes ldd, ld.so, and the shared versions.
68: base also includes 'cpp', because that's used by X11.)
69: includes the man pages for all the binaries contained
70: within. Also, includes all library and system call
71: manual pages.
72:
73: etc: /etc, and associated files (/var/cron/tabs, /root,
74: etc.). things that shouldn't be blindly reinstalled
75: on an upgrade.
76:
77: games: the games and their man pages.
78:
79: man: all of the man pages for the system, except those
80: listed elsewhere (e.g. in comp, games, misc, text).
81: Includes machine-dependent man pages for this CPU.
82:
83: misc: share/dict, share/doc, and the machine-dependent
84: man pages for other cpu's which happen to always
85: be installed.
86:
87: text: text processing tools. groff and all of its friends.
88: includes man pages for all bins contained within.
89:
90:
91: as noted, in addition to the "standard" files in each dir, there's
92: a file called 'md_share' in lists/man. it's the list of man pages
93: that are installed from /usr/src/share, which are machine-dependent.
94: (note that ones that are installed from elsewhere, and thus are
95: installed on only one architecture, are listed in the md.${ARCH}
96: file.) basically, it's grepped through, to see which of the
97: machine-dependent man pages that are always installed should go
98: in the 'man' set, and which should go into the 'misc' set.
99:
100:
101: I've made attempts to get the md files for the amiga, i386, hp300,
102: pc532, and sparc done. I've not attempted the rest (though there
103: are empty files for all architectures except the da30, in the
104: various directories). I think i got the amiga, i386, and sparc
105: done correctly, but i know that (because of weirdnesses in how
106: their last snapshots were built) i didn't get hp300 or pc532
107: done right.
108:
109: what you folks need to do:
110:
111: run 'checkflist' on a tree that you've created with 'make
112: distribution'. send me the output, and i'll take care of putting
113: stuff on the right lists for you. In the future, you'll get
114: to do it yourselves, as you add programs and include files, but
115: i'd prefer to do it the first time (unless you really want to do it
116: yourself -- in that case, please ask me to check your suggestions
117: re: the appropriate sets for things...) There should be a minimal
118: list output by checkflist -- it should all be things that
119: _should_ be on your lsits, but aren't, i.e. machine-dependent
120: binaries, man pages, and include files.
121:
122: Also, please look through the lists, and tell me if you think
123: i've put anything in the wrong place. i think i've
124: taken care of all of the machine-dependence bugaboos, by
125: doing it for the N architectures, but i'm not _sure_... 8-)
