Revision 22597, 18.3 KB checked in by ghudson, 17 years ago (diff)
Update ispell location.
Line 
1For the most part, third-party software is easy to locate because it
2is found in the third hierarchy.  Nevertheless, it's a good idea to
3keep track of what we get from outside, especially for things outside
4of third.  There are also some notes at the end of this file on how we
5deal with building third-party software.

7Third-party stuff not under third
8---------------------------------
9
10        * athena/etc/xlogin/bitmaps/menu16
11
12                This is from the X11 release; it probably never
13                changes.  We have a copy of it here because xlogin
14                needs all its bitmaps locally in /etc/athena/login,
15                and fetching it out of the vendor X distribution at
16                build time is contrary to principles.
17
18        * packs/build/autoconf/
19
20                The files in this directory are copied from
21                third/autoconf and used by do.sh.
22
23        * packs/config/named.root
24
25                This is a copy of the named.root file available at
26                rs.internic.net:/domain/named.root.
27
28        * packs/config/Dash.fallback
29
30                A fallback copy of
31                /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/config/dash/Dash.menus for
32                when the master copy is inaccessible.  This should be
33                updated at release time.
34
35        * packs/dotfiles/arch/sgi_*/cshrc
36
37                A line to set XUSERFILESEARCHPATH in .cshrc is derived
38                from a piece of the IRIX file /var/X11/xdm/Xsession.dt.
39
40        * packs/dotfiles/{README.mail,dot.cshrc,dot.login,dot.logout,
41                dot.mh_profile,welcome}
42
43                These should be kept in sync with the copies on
44                moira's local disk (/moira/dotfiles/*), which are
45                what actually get copied into new home directories.
46
47        * Modified operating system files
48
49                We keep some modified configuration files from the
50                operating systems we use in the os and arch
51                subdirectories of packs/config and packs/maint.
52                The files and their origins are:

285PGP Signatures
286--------------
287
288The (*)ed packages above come PGP-signed. Note that some packages have
289signatures of the .tar.gz files, and others have signatures of the .tar
290files themselves even though you can only download the .tar.gz files.
291
292Local copies of the PGP signing keys, are kept in doc/pgpkeys. You can
293add them to your PGP keyring by doing:
294
295        pgp -ka pgpkeys [PGP 2.6]
296        pgpk -a pgpkeys [PGP 5]
297
298And you can verify the signature of a package with
299
300        pgp sigfile  [PGP 2.6]
301        pgpv sigfile [PGP 5]
302
303(You will be prompted for the name of the file to compare the
304signature against.)
305
306AFS Binaries
307------------
308
309AFS binaries are placed under arch/<architecture name> for each
310architecture.  For each platform, you should do an import of the
311"include" and "lib" directories of the dest tree, using the vendor tag
312"transarc" and a release tag like "afs-3_4a_patches_2".  For "lib",
313you will have to use the options "-kb -I \!".  At the top level, you
314should have afsd, fs, tokens, unlog, and possibly afs.rc; we don't
315bother with "cvs import" for these files.  You will also need the
316kernel module itself, which varies per platform.

318LPRng
319-----
320
321We import three packages: the LPRng sources themselves
322(LPRng/LPRng-x.tgz) into third/lprng/lprng, the LPRng documentation
323(LPRng/LPRng_DOC-x.tgz) into third/lprng/doc, and the ifhp filter
324(FILTERS/ifhp-x.tgz) into third/lprng/ifhp.
325
326Emacs
327-----
328
329LEIM (Library of Emacs Input Methods) is built as part of Emacs, but
330distributed separately.  Untar both emacs and leim (leim will untar
331into emacs-xx.yy/leim) and import them both with one command.
332
333Emacs is distributed with .elc files.  When you import new versions of
334emacs, do so with the "-I \!" option to prevent CVS from ignoring
335these files.  .elc files should be tagged as binary, using "cvs admin
336-kb", although that's not terribly critical to Unix CVS clients
337(except for the vc-mode files).
338
339Elisp source related to vc-mode needs to be set to "-ko" mode to
340prevent expansion of those keywords.  Use "cvs admin -ko" on these
341files if they move or if new ones are added.

343Third-party build systems
344-------------------------
345
346There are two avenues one can take for building third-party software:
347
348        * You can use the native build system.
349
350        * You can declare the native build system a loss, and use one
351          of the two Athena build systems described in the file
352          "build-system" in this directory.  This option is not
353          preferred, but is necessary in cases like afsbin (where we
354          are simply installing target files) or software imported
355          from NetBSD.
356
357In a some cases, the native build system may already conform to the
358Athena build system (a configure script which needs no special options
359for the Athena environment besides those given in our config.site
360file), but generally you will have to write either a configure.athena
361or a Makefile.athena file specifying how to build and install the
362program.
363
364configure.athena is used when the package builds and installs
365normally, but needs to have extra options passed to configure (or has
366a configure script which isn't named "configure", or needs additional
367steps performed before or after the configure script).
368
369Makefile.athena is needed if the package needs to do anything unusual
370at any of the other steps.  A Makefile.athena must have the following
371targets:
372
373        prepare         Prepare to build the source tree
374        clean           Remove files generated by the all target
375        all             Generate all automatically build files
376        check           Perform automatic tests, if any
377        install         Install the software in $SRVD.
378
379A Makefile.athena file may rely on the following environment variables
380(it is most robust to use `"$$VARNAME"' instead of `"${VARNAME}"' in
381rules to get the value of such variables):
382
383        ATHENA_SYS      Architecture name for this system
384        HOSTTYPE        Platform name for this system
385        SRVD            Install destination directory (e.g. /srvd)
386        SOURCE          Source tree (e.g. /mit/source)
387        COMPILER        Appropriate compiler/linker for this system
388        CONFIGDIR       Location of Athena Imake templates
389        XCONFIGDIR      Location of X-style Imake templates
390        ATHTOOLROOT     Root of installed Athena tree
391
392Following is a sample Makefile.athena file, used to build a package
393which uses an X-style Imakefile:
394
395        # $Id: $
396
397        SHELL=/bin/sh
398
399        prepare:
400                imake "-I$$XCONFIGDIR" -DUseInstalled "-DSRCDIR=$$SOURCE"
401                ${MAKE} Makefiles
402
403        clean:
404                ${MAKE} clean
405
406        all:
407                ${MAKE} includes depend all
408
409        check:
410
411        install:
412                ${MAKE} install DESTDIR="$$SRVD"
