3 the scripts should be run from the directory where they reside.
5 makeflist: output the list of files that should be in a
6 distribution, according to the contents of the
9 checkflist: check the file list (as internally generated
10 by makeflist) against the tree living in $DESTDIR.
11 (that tree should be made with 'make distribution'.)
13 maketars: make tarballs of the various sets in the distribution,
14 based on the contents of the lists, the tree in
15 $DESTDIR, and put the tarballs in $RELEASEDIR.
16 Note that this script _doesn't_ create the 'secr'
17 distribution, because (for now) it requires
18 manual intervention to get the binaries right...
19 (i'll add another script to create that dist, later.)
23 lists describing file sets. There are two sets of lists per file
24 set: machine dependent and machine-independent files. (there's
25 also another file in the 'man' dir, which is used by the 'man'
26 and 'misc' sets, but that's explained later.)
28 There is one machine-independent file, named "mi". There are
29 N machine-dependent files (one per architecture), named "md.${ARCH}".
31 the sets are as follows:
33 base: the base binary set. excludes everything described
36 comp: compiler tools. All of the tools relating to C, C++,
37 and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!) that are in the
38 tree. This includes includes, the linker, tool chain,
39 and the .a versions of the libraries. (obviously,
40 base includes ldd, ld.so, and the shared versions.
41 base also includes 'cpp', because that's used by X11.)
42 includes the man pages for all the binaries contained
43 within. Also, includes all library and system call
46 etc: /etc, and associated files (/var/cron/tabs, /root,
47 etc.). things that shouldn't be blindly reinstalled
50 games: the games and their man pages.
52 man: all of the man pages for the system, except those
53 listed elsewhere (e.g. in comp, games, misc, text).
54 Includes machine-dependent man pages for this CPU.
56 misc: share/dict, share/doc, and the machine-dependent
57 man pages for other CPUs which happen to always
60 modules: stand/${MACHINE}/${OSRELEASE}/modules kernel modules
62 tests: unit, regression, integration and stress tests for the
65 text: text processing tools. groff and all of its friends.
66 includes man pages for all bins contained within.
69 as noted, in addition to the "standard" files in each dir, there's
70 a file called 'md_share' in lists/man. it's the list of man pages
71 that are installed from /usr/src/share, which are machine-dependent.
72 (note that ones that are installed from elsewhere, and thus are
73 installed on only one architecture, are listed in the md.${ARCH}
74 file.) basically, it's grepped through, to see which of the
75 machine-dependent man pages that are always installed should go
76 in the 'man' set, and which should go into the 'misc' set.
78 Each set must contain "./etc/mtree/set.<set name>" within the mi
79 list. Failure to add this will break unprivileged builds.
