- I run an anon-ftp site in another (non-linux) life and I use a quickie
- perl program I whipped up to generate a files_area listing of what's
- what, how big is it, when was it changed, and where is it in the tree.
-
- I stuck (my best understanding of) the latest SLS .tpz distribution and
- all changes since the last massive change on a DOS partition and here's
- the output.
-
- Consider it one example of the kind'a information I think is needed.
- WARNING - THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF SLS CHANGES AND SOME AREN'T DOCUMENTED
- IN THE HISTORY FILE...THIS MIGHT NOT BE PERFECTLY ACCURATE !!!
-
- Again, the other thing I'd like to see is to have one command to list
- which packages, and versions (very important) are installed on the system
- something like:
- base.tpz v1.0002
- etc.tpz v1.0002
- tcpip.tpz v1.0010
-
- My solution is to get sysinstall to stick one commented-out line at the
- top of each /install/installed/* file...then the command is a simple grep,
- but I'm sure there are dozens of ways to do the same thing cleanly.
-
- Attachment follows....please kick feedback via mail unless it's REALLY
- something the whole net needs to see :-)

-
- The SLS distribution of Linux
- =============================
-
- This file contains information pertaining to the most current version of
- the SLS (Linux Soft Landing System) distribution of Linux. The filename
- descriptions are the best we can come up with at this time based on the
- limited SLS documentation currently available.
-
- Please feel free to fill in the blanks or let us know if you see file
- descriptions that can be added or improved...
-
- This file reflects the initial SLS 0.99-2 '.tpz' repackaging of things
- with gzip plus all known changes since that date. It should be complete
- and accurate as of noon PST 1/22/93. If it's not, please let us know !!!
-
- NOTE: there is no SLS 'z1' disk. We created one to stick all the faq's
- and readme files in one place to clean up the local disks...
