Here is a synopsis of my new uploads, as of Mon Nov 23 09:53:17 1992
Bug reports and comments to: faith@cs.unc.edu
Each *.taz file is a compressed tar archive containing binaries, support
files (including README, NEWS, and COPYING files from the FSF source), man
pages (when available), and info pages (when available). Linked with jump
4.1 libraries using gcc 2.2.2d (release version), and tested under Linux
0.98.pl4 and 0.98.pl5.
The *.taz files are ready to 'gtar zpxvf' into /. Also, the *.taz files
should be compatible with the SLS sysinstall program, which can be used to
install and uninstall these binary releases.
Each *.Notes file explains how to install the binary release and how to
compile the FSF source code. It includes patches, if they are necessary,
and can be fed directly to patch(1) without any editing. The *.Notes files
are also contained in the *.taz file.
All of the *.taz and *.Notes files are available from:
ftp.cs.unc.edu:/pub/faith/linux/utils
and have been uploaded to
tsx-11.mit.edu and sunsite.unc.edu
