- * This is one of several source packages, containing a collection of net
- programs ready to compile for Linux.
- In this package are source files from NetBSD-current from 94/01/09.
-
- I plan to take a newer NetBSD version from time to time and see, if they
- have done important fixes. It would be also nice, if we could cooperate
- better between the NetBSD, FreeBSD and Linux people. (We all use the
- same basic source code, but do all our own fixes while constantly
- pretending not to look at the other group...)
- Communication on net-related things seems to be bad in general...
- Maybe 4.4BSD-Lite would be a good start for everybody to cooperate?
-
- If you put together a good binary package and fix some things, you do good
- work for the people *using* those binary packages. If you also make good
- context diffs, you also help the original authors of it.
-
- * You should have the C library 4.5.26 or higher, gcc 2.5.7 or higher,
- linux kernel version 0.99.15 or higher.
-
- * Make sure, you don't have old header files in your /usr/include directory.
- Alan Cox has put some extra header files onto sunacm to make Linux more
- compatible to BSD. Those should *NOT* be installed. Current consensus is,
- that they should be incorporated into the source packages that need them.
- (Only tcpdump and maybe few others.)
-
- * If you have to remove #include <lastlog.h> somewhere, please read the last
- point again... (remove your /usr/include/bsd/utmp.h file...)
-
- * Check the configuration options in the toplevel Makefile.
-
- * Do a "make" to compile everything. Maybe use "make 2>&1 | less" to check
- everything. Do a "make install" as root to install everything.
-
- * If you want to see, what exactly has changed for the linux version do:
- find arp -name '*,v' | sed 's/,v$//' | sort | \
- xargs -r -ihugo rcsdiff -q -u -L hugo hugo | less
- (Yeah, that's why Unix is so cool...)
-
- * If you only want to install in the "ftp" dir, do "make SUB=ftp" and
- "make SUB=ftp install".
-
- * I will not find your bug fixes, if you just post them to one of the
- newsgroups. Please email them to me.
