1A few things have solidified since the previous documents in this directory. 2This document will serve to contain late-breaking news until the other 3documents can be updated. 4 5Package names 6------------- 7 8Package names are of the following form: 9 10 <set>-<pkg>-<part> 11 12<set> is always the containing set. 13<pkg> is the software component (util, sendmail, games) 14<part> is a division of a package into parts. This allows 15 users to normally install all parts, but specialize 16 if desired. 17 18SUSHI and sysinst will be made aware of this naming scheme, so that they 19can be made to offer, eg, to allow users to install `rcs' or to zoom 20in and install `base-rcs-bin' and not `base-rcs-man'. This is in addition 21to the bundling of packages into `package sets' corresponding to the 22existing tarball sets for rapid sysinst-based installs. 23 24Package Divisions 25----------------- 26 27The following strategy is being taken for division of the `base' package. 28 29First off, utilities are divided into a few big packages based on the following: 30 31 directories base-sys-root, base-sys-usr 32 /bin base-util-root 33 /sbin base-sysutil-root 34 /usr/bin base-util-bin 35 /usr/lib base-sys-shlib 36 /usr/sbin base-sysutil-bin 37 38supporting files are named based on the utilities they match (with the <part> changed). 39 40Then, groups of utilities which are either likely to not be installed (UUCP, SLIP) or 41distinct from other utilities (postfix, sendmail, bind) are separated from the above. 42 43$Id: MORE_NOTES,v 1.1.1.1 2002/01/07 22:46:16 jwise Exp $ 44
