- I'm looking for some help concerning coming up with a list of SLS stuff
- to backup routinely, especially before upgrades to any of the SLS kits.
-
- I wrote a quickie shell script to do a 'file' on each of the files that
- get installed from SLS, then did the 'egrep -v' from hell to get down to
- just ascii files...then I pared it down to the attached.
-
- The goal is obviously to only back up config files since at any time
- reloading all of SLS is a snap with sysinstall. Can people please take
- a look at this list and tell me what they think is missing?
-
- Be forewarned that I didn't install 'X' yet so stuff like the Xconfig
- file is missing. Same goes for anything TCP/IP-related. Also, I want
- to specifically exclude home directories (for now) since what I'm looking
- to come up with is a backup list for System Software.
-
- This list applies to the following kits:
-
- base bin bin4 binutils cnews comms devs diff20a elm2417 gcc233 getty
- groff gxx233 image inc42 lib42 libm lpr lx99p2 make man man2 menus
- nn6418 nn6418m perl shadow shlibs smail syslogd syssetup tin11p4
- trn22 usrbin4 uucp zafix zoneinfo
-
- Any help is appreciated !!! If you WANT to include config files that
- relate to other packages, please feel free to go wild :-)
