Annotation of researchv8dc/cmd/uucp/init/README, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: Read the manual first.  The manual is in /n/bowell/src/cmd/uucp/doc/*.
        !             2: 
        !             3: 1.  Copy the new lib directory (this) to a safe place (/usr/lib/nuucp).
        !             4: It's probably there already.
        !             5: 
        !             6: 2.  Copy any of the following files which should be preserved
        !             7: into /usr/lib/nuucp:
        !             8:        L.sys* (not L.sysequiv)
        !             9:        L.dialcodes
        !            10:        L.cmds
        !            11: Check them for any junk which can be removed.  In particular, look for
        !            12: garbage in L.cmds (pointers to commands which don't exist any more,
        !            13: like uusendda and fget), and for out-of-date (pre-1+ dialling) and
        !            14: unused L.dialcodes files.  If L.sys.general exists, rename it L.sys.gen. 
        !            15: (Systems.general is 15 characters, and namei doesn't like that anymore.)
        !            16: 
        !            17: The next two steps (setlib and setspool) should be performed
        !            18: either as root (if uucp and bin are the correct user and group
        !            19: for uucp files -- the group will have write permissions), or
        !            20: as the appropriate user (in which event some specious `Not owner'
        !            21: messages will appear).
        !            22: 
        !            23: 3.  cd /usr/lib/nuucp; init/setlib
        !            24: This will change old L.* files into new ones: L.sys* -> Systems*;
        !            25: L.dialcodes -> Dialcodes; L.cmds (and other stuff) -> Permissions.
        !            26: Examine the resulting Permissions file; make sure it includes all
        !            27: the user-IDs it should, and that it otherwise satisfies you.
        !            28: 
        !            29: 4.  Decide on a temporary new spool directory (/usr/spool/nuucp).
        !            30: Create it.  Then
        !            31:        cd /usr/spool/nuucp; /usr/lib/nuucp/init/setspool
        !            32: This makes some necessary subdirectories, and sets modes and ownership
        !            33: on the spool directory and the subdirectories.
        !            34: 
        !            35: Stop being root unless you never make mistakes.
        !            36: 
        !            37: 5.  cd /usr/lib/nuucp and browse through uudemon.*, hacking to
        !            38: suit.  Pay particular attention to `mailto' in uudemon.day, and
        !            39: to the argument to uudemon.cleanu.
        !            40: 
        !            41: 6.  You're now ready to install things.  Wait until things are
        !            42: quiescent, if that's possible.  (Make them so, or don't complain).
        !            43: 
        !            44: 7.  Save the old programs from /usr/bin if you're so inclined
        !            45: (convention: create /usr/lib/uucp/usrbin, and put them there).
        !            46: Suggestion:
        !            47:        mkdir /usr/lib/uucp/usrbin
        !            48:        ln /usr/bin/uu* /usr/lib/uucp/usrbin
        !            49: 
        !            50: 8.  The real installation:
        !            51:        cd /usr/lib; mv uucp ouucp; mv nuucp uucp
        !            52:        cd /usr/spool; mv uucp ouucp; mv nuucp uucp
        !            53:        cd /usr/bin; rm uucp uux uulog uustat uuname
        !            54:        cd /usr/lib/uucp/usrbin; ln * /usr/bin
        !            55:        cd /usr/bin; rm uuget uuclean
        !            56: 
        !            57: At this point it might be sensible to run /usr/lib/uucp/uucheck -v,
        !            58: which will print out a sort of interpretation of the Permissions
        !            59: file, and complain if any important files or directories are missing.
        !            60: (It would be better to run it before installing things, but it insists
        !            61: on files being in their final places.)
        !            62: 
        !            63: 9.  If there's old work sitting around (J. files),
        !            64:        cd /usr/spool/ouucp; /usr/lib/uucp/init/cvtwork
        !            65: will attempt to move it to the new spool directory and mend its format.
        !            66: 
        !            67: 10. After you're sure the new stuff works (you might want to wait a
        !            68: day or two),
        !            69:        rm -rf /usr/spool/ouucp /usr/lib/ouucp
