ANNOUNCE: BINARIES UPLOADED!
|
|
|
|
Bug reports and comments to: faith@cs.unc.edu
|
|
|
|
NEW IN THIS RELEASE, as of Fri Jan 29 09:30:05 1993. Unless otherwise
|
|
noted, all binaries will untar into /usr/bin: cd /; gtar zpxvf filename.taz
|
|
|
|
|
|
gzip082A.Notes
|
|
gzip082A.taz
|
|
|
|
This is GNU gzip 0.8.2, which acts like compress, but which has better
|
|
compression ratios. It contains gzip, gunzip, zcat, zcmp, zdiff,
|
|
zmore, znew, and uncompress. The znew utility converts *.Z files to
|
|
*.z files. All of the z* and uncompress utilities will now handle *.Z
|
|
and *.z files. Pack format files can now be uncompressed. Has man and
|
|
info pages, binaries in /bin. [You may have to remove some of the
|
|
compress links in /bin for the tar file to unpack correctly.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
mk363B.Notes
|
|
mk363B.taz
|
|
|
|
Changes from 'A': Patch from roland@gnu.ai.mit.edu (Roland McGrath) to
|
|
correct the problem of environment variable expansion breaking default
|
|
built in rules.
|
|
|
|
This is GNU make 3.63, with man and info pages. WARNING: Variables are
|
|
no longer automatically exported to the environment when a sub-make is
|
|
started. The .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES: rule or the export directive can
|
|
be added to top level makefiles to get the old behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHAT YOU GET WITH THESE BINARIES:
|
|
|
|
*.Notes files contain instructions for installing the binary release, and
|
|
include step by step instruction of how I built the binary release from
|
|
source. This single file contains the name of the ftp site where I got the
|
|
package, how I compiled it, and what patches were needed, if any. IF YOU
|
|
WANT TO COMPILE THE PACKAGE YOURSELF, THIS FILE IS ALL YOU NEED (after you
|
|
get the original source distribution, of course). If any patches were
|
|
necessary, the *.Notes file can be fed directly to patch(1), without any
|
|
editing.
|
|
|
|
*.taz files are compressed tar archives contain binaries, man pages and/or
|
|
info pages (if available), COPYING, README, etc., files from the original
|
|
source distribution, and my:
|
|
|
|
*.Notes file, described above
|
|
*.Dist file, which was used to built the *.taz file
|
|
*.Unins file, which will uninstall most of the binary release (it leaves
|
|
/usr/src/* intact)
|
|
|
|
The *.taz format files are compatible with the SLS systinstall program,
|
|
which can be used to install and uninstall the binary distributions.
|
|
|
|
If you don't use the SLS program, the *.taz files are ready to 'gtar zpxvf'
|
|
into /.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHY SOME OF THE BINARIES DUMP CORE:
|
|
|
|
New releases always use the most recent "official" kernel, compiler, and
|
|
libraries. Currently, this is gcc 2.3.3, jump 4.2, and Linux 0.99.3. Some
|
|
older binaries were prepared with gcc 2.2.2d7/jump 4.1, but were tested
|
|
with jump 4.2, and may require jump 4.2 to run (i.e., rcs56A.taz). Often,
|
|
if the binary dumps core, an upgrade to the latest library and kernel
|
|
release will fix the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHERE YOU CAN GET THESE BINARIES:
|
|
|
|
*.Notes files are in the following places:
|
|

whereis. EVERYTHING HAS A MAN PAGE!

|
|
|
utilb-1.0.src.tar.Z
|
|
utilb10.Notes
|
|
utilb10.taz
|
|
|
|
This is a random collection of mostly custom Linux code, which, in
|
|
general, should be in the /bin directory, including: ed, hostname,
|
|
kill, ldd, login, more, setterm, wall, write. EVERYTHING HAS A MAN
|
|
PAGE!
|
|
|
|
**********************************************************************
|
|
|
|
BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU DON'T HAVE libc.so.4.2 INSTALLED! You may not
|
|
be able to log in! Check to be sure that the programs work in some
|
|
directory OTHER THAN /bin, *BEFORE* YOU INSTALL THEM. ESPECIALLY
|
|
LOGIN!

utile-1.1.src.tar.Z
|
|
utile11.Notes
|
|
utile11.taz
|
|
|
|
Changes from 1.0: Has Linus's new fsck, Rick Sladkey's new mount (this
|
|
binary does not have NFS support, but the source code does), and
|
|
Michael K. Johnson's new setserial.
|
|
|
|
This is a random collection of mostly custom Linux code, which, in
|
|
general, should be in the /etc directory, including: agetty, clock,
|
|
ctrlaltdel, doshell, fastboot, fasthalt, fdformat, fdisk, frag, fsck,
|
|
halt, kbdrate, makehole, mkfs, mkswap, mount, ramsize, reboot,
|
|
rdev,setfdprm, setserial, shutdown, simpleinit, swapdev, swapon,
|
|
swapoff, sync, umount, update, and vidmode. EVERYTHING HAS A MAN PAGE!
|
|
Binaries in /etc.
|
|
|
|
The rdev command can change your kernel image's boot device, swap
|
|
device, ramdisk size, and video mode. The agetty and simpleinit are
|
|
the "standard" Linux getty and init, but you have to make the links
|
|
yourself, since some people may be using the System V versions, and I
|
|
didn't want the tar to clobber those. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WITH
|
|
GETTY AND INIT, SINCE THEY CAN MAKE YOUR SYSTEM UNBOOTABLE!
|
|
|
|
Most people will have copies of these programs in /bin, and may want to
|
|
keep them there, instead of moving them to /etc (where many people,
|
|
myself and a bunch of manuals included, believe section 8 utilities
|
|
belong). If you want to keep things in /bin, however, please get the
|
|
source distribution and fix the paths in pathnames.h. Otherwise,
|
|
things like shutdown won't work correctly.
