This directory contains virgin sources of the original distribution files on
|
|
a "vendor" branch. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to upgrade the
|
|
files in this directory via patches and a cvs commit. New versions or
|
|
official-patch versions must be imported.
|
|
|
|
Before attempting an upgrade, please read the section entitled "Contributed
|
|
Software" in the FreeBSD Handbook (from which this file is derived.) New
|
|
releases of the source should be imported onto the vendor branch and merged
|
|
with the FreeBSD-customized sources that live on the main branch.
|
|
|
|
To upgrade to a newer version, when it is available:
|
|
1. Unpack the new version into an empty directory.
|
|
[Do not make ANY changes to the files.]
|
|
|
|
2. Remove any files that don't apply to FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
3. Use the command:
|
|
cvs import -m 'Virgin import of GLOBAL v<version>' \
|
|
src/contrib/global GLOBAL v<version>
|
|
|
|
4. Follow the instructions printed out in step 3 to resolve any
|
|
conflicts between local FreeBSD changes and the newer version.
|
|
|
|
Do not, under any circumstances, deviate from this procedure.
|
|
|
|
To make local changes, simply patch and commit to the main branch (aka HEAD).
|
|
Never make local changes on the GLOBAL vendor branch.
|
|
|
|
Please submit changes to GLOBAL's author, Shigio Yamaguchi
|
|
<shigio@tamacom.com> for inclusion in his next release. The most recent
|
|
release of GLOBAL is available at the author's web page:
