Beware of taking binary distributions from sites that are not on this list.
HylaFAX includes several programs that are either started
by the super-user or are installed as setuid root; thus
installing untrusted distributions can be risky.
Many binary distributions are available on the master FTP site:
ftp.sgi.com sgi/fax/binary (192.48.153.1)These currently include:
Alternate sites that either mirror the master FTP site or that have specific binary distributions are:
These sites had binary distributions of FlexFAX, they will
presumably have HylaFAX distributions soon.
SCO binary distributions are available from:
ftp.celestial.com /pub/sco-ports/unix (192.136.111.2)
FreeBSD binary distributions are available from:
freebsd.cdrom.com /pub/FreeBSD/packages (192.216.191.11)
NetBSD binary distributions are available from:
ftp.netbsd.org /pub/NetBSD/packages/binaries/NetBSD-1.0/i386 (128.32.138.88)
The binary distributions come with their own instructions because their format varies. The following guidelines describe how to interpret the filenames to understand the format and contents of each distribution.
Distribution filenames are of the form: hylafax-<target>-<version>-<format>; where <target> describes the target system, <version> specifies the HylaFAX version the distribution was built from, and <format> specifies the format of the distribution as follows:
So, for example, hylafax-irix5-v3.0beta099-inst.tar is a binary distribution for machines running IRIX 5.x and the distribution is provided as IRIX inst images collected together in a single archive created by the tar program.
In addition to the binary distributions, there may also be two other files present for each target system. Files of the form INSTALL-*-* are installation instructions for a specific binary distribution. Files of the form gs*-*-tar.gz are binary distributions of Ghostscript, the Ghostscript fonts, and any associated .ps files; configured for use with HylaFAX.
