lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk (Lee McLoughlin) (03/08/88)
Below is the README from expo. You also need the stuff from the updates directory not on most tapes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Those of you who are after X.V11R2 in the uk can now get it via guest niftp from Imperial College. Host: uk.ac.ic.doc.gould Name: guest Pass: your mail addr Type: binary (apart from README and ls-l = text) It is in tar+compress+split format and the filenames are all prefixed by <XV11R2> (and remember the files are binary). Eg: fcp -b -Uguest -Plmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk "<XV11R2>ls-l@uk.ac.ic.doc.gould" ls-l Will get you the directory listing shown below. IT IS BIG!! I MEAN REALLY BIG!!! So plese do not try and grab the files during working hours. To recreate you'll have to do somthing like: cat X* | uncompress | tar xvf - Please try and get it this way if you want it. If you really must have it on a tape try and get a nearby academic site to grab it off us and get it off them. I haven't the time to write a lot of tapes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ total 8 -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 2261 Mar 1 10:36 README drwxr-xr-x 2 lmjm 1024 Mar 8 11:30 contrib.hc drwxr-xr-x 2 lmjm 1024 Mar 8 11:29 contrib.src drwxr-xr-x 2 lmjm 1024 Mar 8 10:35 core.hc drwxr-xr-x 2 lmjm 1024 Mar 8 10:34 core.src -rw-r--r-- 1 lmjm 0 Mar 8 11:30 ls-l drwxr-xr-x 2 lmjm 1024 Mar 8 10:39 updates contrib.hc: total 1849 -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 152 Mar 8 10:48 SUMS -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 8 08:44 contrib.hc.tar.Z.split.aa -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 8 08:52 contrib.hc.tar.Z.split.ab -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 8 10:45 contrib.hc.tar.Z.split.ac -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 311237 Mar 8 10:34 contrib.hc.tar.Z.split.ad contrib.src: total 7369 -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 585 Mar 8 11:27 SUMS -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 22:12 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.aa -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 22:38 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.ab -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 22:49 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.ac -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 22:50 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.ad -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 8 01:44 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.ae -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 23:05 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.af -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 23:18 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.ag -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 23:18 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.ah -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 8 11:18 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.ai -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 8 10:53 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.aj -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 23:47 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.ak -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 8 00:00 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.al -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 8 11:26 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.am -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 8 02:05 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.an -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 195615 Mar 7 23:56 contrib.src.tar.Z.split.ao core.hc: total 2473 -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 175 Mar 8 10:35 SUMS -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 4 06:47 core.hc.tar.Z.split.aa -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 20:15 core.hc.tar.Z.split.ab -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 20:16 core.hc.tar.Z.split.ac -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 7 21:33 core.hc.tar.Z.split.ad -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 423007 Mar 8 02:01 core.hc.tar.Z.split.ae core.src: total 6401 -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 468 Mar 8 10:34 SUMS -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 2 11:37 core.src.tar.Z.split.aa -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 2 12:44 core.src.tar.Z.split.ab -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 2 13:11 core.src.tar.Z.split.ac -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 2 14:38 core.src.tar.Z.split.ad -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 2 14:59 core.src.tar.Z.split.ae -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 2 16:59 core.src.tar.Z.split.af -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 3 19:10 core.src.tar.Z.split.ag -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 3 18:54 core.src.tar.Z.split.ah -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 4 06:27 core.src.tar.Z.split.ai -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 4 06:32 core.src.tar.Z.split.aj -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 4 07:16 core.src.tar.Z.split.ak -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 512000 Mar 4 06:35 core.src.tar.Z.split.al -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 246800 Mar 4 06:56 core.src.tar.Z.split.am updates: total 30 -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 301 Mar 8 08:06 README -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 2735 Mar 8 08:06 excldep.c -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 2124 Mar 8 08:06 kcltcp.c -r--r--r-- 1 lmjm 22886 Mar 8 08:06 raster.c To Explain things a little better here is the README file. Core seems to be the old distribution tape stuff - enough to create a useable system (I've not had time to do this myself yet, though). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This directory and its subdirectories contain the X Window System, Version 11 Release 2. There are two distributions: a ``core'' distribution, and a ``user-contributed'' distribution. Each distribution comes in two tar files, one for sources, and one for printable documentation (PostScript and other files for hardcopy). There is interesting and useful stuff on the user-contributed distribution; you definitely want the entire thing. All of the tar file contents are relative to ``.'', and should all be extracted into the same top-level directory of your choosing. The tar files have been compressed using the Unix ``compress'' program, and then split into 512000 byte chunks (with some left over). For each split/compressed/tar file, you will need to fetch all of the chunks, concatenate the chunks together, uncompress the result, and then untar the result. Doing all but the fetching in a single pipe sequence will save you much disk space. The source for the core distribution is in the subdirectory core.src, in the files: core.src.tar.Z.split.a[a-m] You will need about 20Mb hold the resulting tree, and about another 15Mb to build the distribution. The hardcopy for the core distribution is in the subdirectory core.hc, in the files: core.hc/core.hc.tar.Z.split.a[a-e] You will need about 7Mb hold the resulting tree. The source for the user-contributed distribution is in the subdirectory contrib.src, in the files: contrib.src/contrib.src.tar.Z.split.a[a-o] You will need about 22Mb hold the resulting tree, and perhaps up to 30Mb to build the distribution, if you build everything. The hardcopy for the user-contributed distribution is in the subdirectory contrib.hc, in the files: contrib.hc/contrib.hc.tar.Z.split.a[a-d] You will need about 10Mb hold the resulting tree. After restoring the core source tar file, you should build and read the release notes in doc/releasenotes, or else extract the PostScript version from the core hardcopy tar file and print and read it. But, if you just can't resist, do "make World >& make.world" at the top level to build the core distribution. Bug reports (for the core distribution only) should be sent to "xbugs@expo.lcs.mit.edu". Please use the template provided in doc/bugs/bug-report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lee. -- UKUUCP SUPPORT Lee McLoughlin "What you once thought was only a nightmare is now a reality!"
