2.9BSD/usr/contrib/README
User Contributed Software
The subtree /usr/contrib contains programs contributed by the user
community. The following software is included:
Directory Description Contributor(s)
--------- ----------- -----------

The individuals responsible for the software should be identified in
the accompanying documents which describe the user contributed
software. All software included here has been written by outside
parties; we gratefully acknowledge their contributions.
This subtree may be extracted from the 2.9BSD first tape by the command
mt fsf 7; cd /usr; tar x contrib
The organization of this subtree is such that a single make command
will compile and/or install all contributed software (with the exception
of the modified scheduler). To compile everything, simply type
make
Once this is done, to install the software in the /usr/new area of
the file system type
make cp
Subdirectories have README files and individual makefiles. If you
want only some of the software contained here go to the appropriate
directories and use the previous commands to compile and install the
desired system. As distributed, most software located here is set up
to be installed in ${DESTDIR}/usr/new, where DESTDIR is a make macro
which can be supplied on the command line. Consult each directory's
README file for the information needed to change this.
The software included here is in use at Berkeley, or other sites
running 2.9BSD or 4.2BSD (or earlier derivatives). Please remember that
this is contributed software and, as such, we do not ``support'' it in
the same manner as that software which is part of the standard
distribution. Each subsystem has a README file in its root directory.
This file should be consulted to find an interested party to which bugs
and/or bug fixes should be sent. In certain cases these people are
located at Berkeley. This does not imply they are part of the PDP-11
Software Distribution or the Computer Systems Research Group; please
contact them as individuals.
