This directory contains tarred inst packages for the following products: Perl 5.005/shrp for IRIX-6.[2345] (installs into /usr/freeware) [beta] Perl 5.004/shrp for IRIX-6.[2345] (installs into /usr/freeware) Perl 5.004/shrp for IRIX-5.3 (installs into /usr/freeware) * Perl 5.003/shrp for IRIX-6.[2345] (installs into /usr/freeware) Perl 5.003 for IRIX-6.2 (installs into /usr/freeware) * Perl 5.003 for IRIX-5.3 (installs into /usr/freeware) GNU Emacs-19.30 for IRIX-6.2 (installs into /usr/freeware) Perl 5.002 for IRIX-6.2 (installs into /usr/freeware) GNU Emacs-19.30 for IRIX-5.3 (installs into /usr/freeware) Perl 5.002 for IRIX-5.3 (installs into /usr/freeware) Perl 5.001m for IRIX-5.3 (installs into /usr/freeware) Perl 5.001m for IRIX-5.2 (installs into /usr/local) GNU Emacs-19.28 for IRIX-5.2 (installs into /usr/gnu & /usr/local) GNU Emacs19.22 for IRIX-5.1 (installs into /usr/gnu & /usr/local) gzip 1.2.4 for IRIX-5.1 (installs into /usr/local) GNU Emacs19.22 for IRIX-4.0.5 (installs into /usr/gnu & /usr/local) gzip 1.2.4 for IRIX-4.0.5 (installs into /usr/local) (*): these images contain the recent 5.003 security patch. To comply with the GNU GPL, the complete source is included in the inst packages. To utilize the source for emacs-19.22 and emacs-19.28, you will need to also install the gzip package, or ensure that the gzip that comes with the Netscape WWW browser is installed. Each release will run on at least one release later. Ie: all of the 5.x releases should run on IRIX-6.2, though I have only tested the 5.3 version. The newer versions of the programs (perl5.* and emacs-19.30) are part of the "Freeware" CD releases. These install into /usr/freeware directory, so /usr/freeware/bin and /usr/freeware/catman will have to be added to your PATH & MANPATH if you wish to access them normally. Perl5 installs /usr/bin/perl5, /usr/bin/perl4, and /usr/bin/perl if they doesn't exist or are a dangling symlink. All other files remain in the /usr/freeware tree, so can be mounted from a server. The Freeware Perl5 should supercede the /usr/local Perl5, though it does not clean out the *.ph files from /usr/local/lib/perl5. Release notes are in HTML format, and are accessed via the local URL: file:/usr/freeware/relnotes/index.html. The latest Perl5 (in the perl5.003-6.2-shrp.tardist and perl5.004* files) is compiled with the Perl interpreter as a shared library. This takes somewhat less disk space, and opens up additional avenues for sharing. Other changes in the package make it more appropriate for installation on IRIX-6.3 and especially IRIX-6.4 (since the shipped Perl is now Perl5 instead of Perl4). The older versions of GNU Emacs installs into /usr/gnu, with symlinks and some binaries into /usr/local/bin. All of the emacs-19 binaries are suffixed with 19 to avoid conflict with other existing emacs's installed, although if the un-suffixed programs do not exist in /usr/local/bin they will be sym-linked to the -19 versions (5.x versions only). The three packages are not exactly equivalent, the 5.1 version has a few more extras and bug fixes than the 4.0.5 version. The 5.x version of each package will supercede the 4.0.5 version when you upgrade from 4.0.5 to 5.2 and wish to install the 5.1 version. The 4.0.5 version will work on Irix releases 4.0.5* and 5.0*, and will probably work on earlier 4.0 releases, but no guarantees (same with gzip). The 5.1 version will work on Irix release 5.1 or later. The 5.2 version will work on Irix releases 5.2 or later. It may work on Irix-5.1 (but not tested). Emacs-19.30 will take about 26MB fully installed, and the source takes another 39MB. Perl5.00{2,3} takes about 11-12MB (depending on the number of *.ph files generated), and the source takes about 8MB. Emacs19.22 installed using the defaults will use about 21MB of disk space. The source gzipped tar file will take about another 6.3MB, and it will take at least 40MB to compile it. gzip takes ~110kB of disk space installed. Installation instructions: The newer files are setup so that they can be installed using "tardist" from your Web browser. It will automatically startup SoftwareManager for you. Each of the Freeware packages includes the required "fw_common" package (which is fortunately small), in case this is the first package you install. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions for the older packages: Create a directory on any host which you can access without having to enter a password -- if you can rcp or cp (mounted or automounted directories) from the directory, you can inst from it. You will need to create separate directories for the different release versions as the files names are the same (so that the newer version can install over the older version). Let's call the directories on host "serv" /usr/dist/irix4, /usr/dist/irix5 and /usr/dist/irix6. Then unpack the tar files (placed in /usr/tmp for this example): # cd /usr/dist/irix4 # tar -xf /usr/tmp/gzip_irix4.tar # tar -xf /usr/tmp/emacs19_irix4.tar # cd ../irix5 # tar -xf /usr/tmp/perl5.002-5.3.tardist # tar -xf /usr/tmp/emacs19.30-5.3.tardist # cd ../irix6 # tar -xf /usr/tmp/perl5.002-6.2.tardist # tar -xf /usr/tmp/emacs19.30-6.2.tardist Then on any (SGI) host that you want to install emacs19 (assume a 4.0.5 machine, the rest work similarly) (see your software inbstallation guide for more assistance): % su - # inst -f serv:/usr/dist/irix4 # Questions or problems with GNU Emacs should be addressed to one of the emacs support sources, such as the newsgroup gnu.emacs.help. Support for the additional files in the emacs19.contrib subsystem should be addressed to the authors of those packages. Address questions about Perl5 to the perl support sources, such as the newsgroup comp.lang.perl.misc, or use the . You can address questions about the installation package itself to me: Scott Henry Contents of this directory: % ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 2115 10 17776 Oct 30 09:21 README -rw-r--r-- 1 2115 10 21258240 Jan
