The individuals responsible for the software should be identified in
the accompanying 4.2BSD 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 4.2BSD second tape by the command
mt fsf; cd /usr/src/new; tar x
The organization of this subtree is such that a single make command
will compile and/or install the contributed software. 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 install
All 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, all 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 4.2BSD (or an earlier derivative). 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 it's 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 Computer Systems
Research Group, please contact them as individuals.
