<< 12 May 1983 >>
|

|
|
To install this directory on your system:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First determine a list of "common terminals" for your system. This list
|
||
|
|
will probably be small, and can be empty if you like, but you should
|
||
|
|
probably put your own terminal in it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Second, edit the editor script "reorder" to use this list instead of the
|
||
|
|
list built in to it. The changes will be evident from looking at the
|
||
|
|
script. Notice that the script contains the terminals in order from least
|
||
|
|
common to most common, since the move commands will move them to the front
|
||
|
|
in that order, the effect will be to put the most common at the front of
|
||
|
|
termcap since that's moved last. The s.* terminals are specials, and
|
||
|
|
although they don't have to go to the front, they are probably quite
|
||
|
|
common and really should go near the front.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Third, if you are not a super user and cannot create the directory
|
||
|
|
/usr/lib/tabset, make a corresponding directory somewhere you can and add
|
||
|
|
a line to reorder to globally change all /usr/lib/tabset's to your own
|
||
|
|
path name. This change is better than just changing the termcap.src file
|
||
|
|
because it makes it easier to diff it from newer distributed versions.
|
||
|
|
Try to keep the source as is whenever possible, and put mungings into
|
||
|
|
reorder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you can run "make install" which will create an /etc/termcap. Again,
|
||
|
|
if you aren't a super user change the cp command to put it where you can.
|
||
|
|
In this case you will have to redefine E_TERMCAP in "local/uparm.h", which
|
||
|
|
will probably be in subdirectories with the other UCB software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, if you make additions or fixes to termcap, please mail a note
|
||
|
|
explaining what you did with the fixed termcap entry (not the whole file,
|
||
|
|
please!) to me at one of the addresses below, so it can be incorporated
|
||
|
|
back into the original source. I will normally include anything unless
|
||
|
|
there is a good reason not to, but I reserve the right to redo it differently.

|
||
|
|
It is probably easiest to make local termcap changes in separate
|
||
|
|
files, eg /usr/local/etc/termcap, and encourage people to put
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
setenv TERMPATH ~/.termcap:/usr/local/etc/termcap:/etc/termcap
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in their shell startup files. This way local system-wide changes can be
|
||
|
|
isolated in /usr/local/etc/termcap and user changes in ~/.termcap, all
|
||
|
|
without consuming lots of disk or requiring re-integration of local
|
||
|
|
changes when system termcap files change.
