It is done....
/mit/krb5/1.0-release contains the candidate 1.0 source tarballs, signed
by me. If all goes well, the src and crypto tarballs will be what we
will be release as the Krb5 1.0 release next week. The doc tarball is
still provisional, as the build.texinfo file (and perhaps some others)
still require some updating.
The build-instructions file in that directory contain the current
instructions for creating binary distributions. It has been changed
somewhat; the main changes since the last meeting are:
* the names of the binary tarballs have been changed to be
consistent with the naming of the source tarballs
* I've added language describing the --with-tcl option so people
can run the full OV test suite
* I've added a "Disk space required:" field to the
README.buildinfo template.
* The binary tarfile is built relative to /usr/local, not to /.
This allows people to have more of a warm and fuzzy
feeling when they install it.
The build-platforms file is maintained under RCS. People who want to
built on a particular platform should register their platform(s) in that
file. After you've built the binary platform, (assuming you're an MIT
developer with access to AFS and /mit/krb5), just place it in the
/mit/krb5/1.0-release directory.
My plan is to let MIT internal developers built a couple of binary
distributions tonight, to make sure there isn't anything really
embarrassingly wrong with the tarballs. Sometime tomorrow, I'll put the
candidate release tarballs on FTP, and tell those (specially selected)
external developers who want to help build binary distributions where to
they can get the tarballs.
For those external developers who are on krbdev, please send e-mail to
me at tytso@mit.edu if you'd like to volunteer to build binary
distributions for platforms which aren't available at MIT. We have
coverage for the following platforms already: Solaris 2.4, i386 Linux,
AIX 3.2.5, AIX 4.1, SGI/Irix 5.3, OSF/1. Let me know which platforms
you have available for doing binary builds. (Note that you need to have
root access in order to properly manufacture the binary tarball.)
You must also have access to PGP and have created a PGP public/private
key pair. If you don't have access to PGP, you can get a copy from:
http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html. If your key isn't signed by me
already, let me know and we'll somehow arrange for me to validate your
key fingerprint so I can sign it.
