- 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
