+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
|
+This program activates software packages which were locally
|
|
|
+installed in a sub-directory of a package hierarchy (located under
|
|
|
+\fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/) by managing symbolic links in an access layer
|
|
|
+(located under \fIroot\fR/) corresponding to package installation
|
|
|
+files (found in \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/pkgname/subdir/) which need to be
|
|
|
+collected in global directories (located under \fIroot\fR/subdir/).
|
|
|
+.PP
|
|
|
+The purpose of this is that individual packages can be installed and
|
|
|
+deinstalled seperately without interfering with other packages while
|
|
|
+all packages as a whole still can be treated like a single package
|
|
|
+(installed into the access layer).
|
|
|
+.PP
|
|
|
+The
|
|
|
+actual creation of symbolic links is as following ("foo\*(R" indicating an
|
|
|
+arbitrary file; \*(L"bar\*(R" indicating an arbitrary package name):
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fIroot\fR\fB/bin/\fRfoo \-> \fB../\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/bin/\fRfoo" 4
|
|
|
+This activates the user executeable
|
|
|
+\fIroot\fR\fB/\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/bin\fR/foo as \fIroot\fR\fB/bin/\fRfoo. It can
|
|
|
+be found by the shell by placing \fIroot\fR\fB/bin\fR into the environment
|
|
|
+variable \f(CWPATH\fR (\fB\s-1PATH\s0=\*(R"..:\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/bin:..\*(R"\fR).
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fIroot\fR\fB/sbin/\fRfoo \-> \fB../\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/sbin/\fRfoo" 4
|
|
|
+This activates the system executeable
|
|
|
+\fIroot\fR\fB/\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/sbin\fR/foo as \fIroot\fR\fB/sbin/\fRfoo. It can
|
|
|
+be found by the shell by placing \fIroot\fR\fB/sbin\fR into the environment
|
|
|
+variable \f(CWPATH\fR (\fB\s-1PATH\s0=\*(R"..:\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/sbin:..\*(R"\fR).
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fIroot\fR\fB/man/man\fR\fIN\fR\fB/\fRfoo \-> \fB../\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/man/man\fR\fIN\fR\fB/\fRfoo" 4
|
|
|
+This activates the Unix manual page
|
|
|
+\fIroot\fR\fB/\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/man/man\fR\fIN\fR\fB/\fRfoo as
|
|
|
+\fIroot\fR\fB/man/man\fR\fIN\fR\fB/\fRfoo. It can be found by the \fIman\fR\|(1) tool
|
|
|
+by placing \fIroot\fR\fB/man\fR into the environment variable \f(CWMANPATH\fR
|
|
|
+(\fB\s-1MANPATH\s0=\*(R"..:\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/man:..\*(R"\fR). Keep in mind that \fIlsync\fR\|(1)
|
|
|
+activates any files found in the \fBman/man\fIN\fR\fR sub-directory of the
|
|
|
+package, but the \fIman\fR\|(1) tool usually requires the filename scheme
|
|
|
+foo\fB.\fR\fIN\fR before it can find the file.
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fIroot\fR\fB/info/\fRfoo \-> \fB../\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/info/\fRfoo" 4
|
|
|
+This activates the \s-1GNU\s0 info page \fIroot\fR\fB/\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/info/\fRfoo
|
|
|
+as \fIroot\fR\fB/info/\fRfoo. It can be found by the \fIinfo\fR\|(1) and \fIpinfo\fR\|(1)
|
|
|
+tools by placing \fIroot\fR\fB/info\fR into the environment variable
|
|
|
+\f(CWINFOPATH\fR (\fB\s-1INFOPATH\s0=\*(R"..:\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/info:..\*(R"\fR). Keep in mind that
|
|
|
+\fIlsync\fR\|(1) activates any files found in the \fBinfo/\fR sub-directory of the
|
|
|
+package, but the \fIinfo\fR\|(1) and \fIpinfo\fR\|(1) tools usually require the filename
|
|
|
+scheme foo\fB.info\fR before it can find the file.
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fIroot\fR\fB/include/\fRfoo \-> \fB../\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/include/\fRfoo" 4
|
|
|
+This activates the C header \fIroot\fR\fB/\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/include\fR/foo
|
|
|
+as \fIroot\fR\fB/include/\fRfoo. It can be found by the C/\*(C+ compilers
|
|
|
+by adding \fIroot\fR\fB/include\fR to their include search path (\fBcc ..
|
|
|
+\-I\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/include\fR \fB...\fR). Keep in mind that \fIlsync\fR\|(1) activates any
|
|
|
+files found in the \fBinclude/\fR sub-directory of the package, but the
|
|
|
+C/\*(C+ compiler usually by convention use the filename scheme foo\fB.h\fR.
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fIroot\fR\fB/lib/\fRfoo \-> \fB../\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/lib/\fRfoo" 4
|
|
|
+This activates the C library \fIroot\fR\fB/\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/lib\fR/foo
|
|
|
+as \fIroot\fR\fB/lib/\fRfoo. It can be found by the C/\*(C+ compilers (and
|
|
|
+the linker they use) by adding \fIroot\fR\fB/lib\fR to their library search
|
|
|
+path (\fBcc .. \-L\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/lib\fR \fB...\fR). It can be found by the Unix
|
|
|
+Dynamic Loader by adding \fIroot\fR\fB/lib\fR to the environment variable
|
|
|
+\f(CWLD_LIBRARY_PATH\fR (\fB\s-1LD_LIBRARY_PATH\s0=\*(R"..:\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/lib:..\*(R"\fR).
|
|
|
+Keep in mind that \fIlsync\fR\|(1) activates any files found in the \fBlib/\fR
|
|
|
+sub-directory of the package, but the C/\*(C+ compiler usually require the
|
|
|
+filename scheme \fBlib\fRfoo\fB.a\fR and the Unix Dynamic Loader the filename
|
|
|
+scheme \fBlib\fRfoo\fB.so\fR before they actually can use the file.
|
|
|
+.PP
|
|
|
+It is obvious that more sub-directories in a package installation
|
|
|
+might exist -- for instance \fBshare/\fR, \fBvar/\fR, \fBlibexec/\fR, etc. But
|
|
|
+\fIlsync\fR\|(1) intentionally does not link files in those directories into
|
|
|
+corresponding directories of the access layer, because those files do
|
|
|
+not require that they are located in a global area in order to be used.
|
|
|
+So \fIlsync\fR\|(1) only creates the access layer for files where a common area
|
|
|
+is required for (easy) use.
|
|
|
+.SH "SPECIAL FEATURES"
|
|
|
+There are two special features supported by \fIlsync\fR\|(1):
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fBRun-Command Files\fR" 4
|
|
|
+\fIlsync\fR\|(1) on startup implicitly reads command line options from
|
|
|
+\&\f(CW.lsyncrc\fR files. They are searched in all parent directories and in
|
|
|
+the callers home directory. Their contents is prepended to the list of
|
|
|
+given command line options.
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fBMultiple Package Versions\fR" 4
|
|
|
+\fIlsync\fR\|(1) skips all directories under \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/ which contain
|
|
|
+the pattern \*(L"\-[0-9]\*(R" in their directory name. On the other hand,
|
|
|
+\fIlsync\fR\|(1) follows also symbolic links under \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/.
|
|
|
+This can be used for installing multiple versions of a package and
|
|
|
+switching between them. For instance, if version 1.0 of package
|
|
|
+\*(L"foo\*(R" is installed into directory \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo-1.0,
|
|
|
+version 1.1 into \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo-1.1 and version 1.2 into
|
|
|
+\fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo-1.2, \fIlsync\fR\|(1) does skip all three. To enable
|
|
|
+version 1.1 one just creates a symbolic link \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo
|
|
|
+pointing to foo-1.1. Then \fIlsync\fR\|(1) picks up the files in
|
|
|
+\fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo-1.1. If you want to temporarily upgrade to
|
|
|
+foo-1.2, all you have to do is to change the symlink pointing from
|
|
|
+foo-1.1 to foo-1.2.
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fBTemporarily Deactivated Package\fR" 4
|
|
|
+One can deactivate a package \*(L"foo\*(R" by going to \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo/
|
|
|
+and running \*(L"lsync --local --uninstall\*(R", of course. Alternatively
|
|
|
+one can set the sticky bit on the directory \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo.
|
|
|
+Then \fIlsync\fR\|(1) also skips the package. Alternatively, assume
|
|
|
+package \*(L"foo\*(R" as a whole should not be deactivated, but its
|
|
|
+\fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo/lib directory (usually because this directory
|
|
|
+unfortunately contains non-library files), one just sets the sticky bit
|
|
|
+on \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo/lib.

|
|
|
+No Operation -- causes \fIlsync\fR\|(1) to not perform any filesystem

|
|
|
+would be executed.
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fB--quiet\fR, \fB\-q\fR" 4
|
|
|
+Forces \fIlsync\fR\|(1) to perform the operations quietly, i.e., without any
|
|
|
+verbose messages.
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fB--trace\fR, \fB\-t\fR" 4
|
|
|
+Forces \fIlsync\fR\|(1) to show what filesystem operations are performed.
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fB--local\fR, \fB\-l\fR" 4
|
|
|
+This restricts the operations to a local package area. This option can
|
|
|
+only be used if you are physically staying below a package sub-directory
|
|
|
+under \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/. For instance, when you are staying in
|
|
|
+\fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/bar or \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/bar/bin and use \fB--local\fR,
|
|
|
+all operations are restricted to the package \*(L"bar\*(R".
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fB--uninstall\fR, \fB\-u\fR" 4
|
|
|
+This performs only package uninstallation operations, i.e., only
|
|
|
+symbolic links are removed. This can be used to completely empty the
|
|
|
+access layer. Additionally it is very useful in combination with
|
|
|
+\fB--local\fR in order to uninstall a particular package without having to
|
|
|
+remove its files.
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fB--root=\fR\fIroot\fR" 4
|
|
|
+Sets the root directory where the access layer and package subdirectory

+is located. The default can be determined by running \f(CWlsync --help\fR
|
|
|
+(see section \*(L"Current configuration").
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fB--pkgdir=\fR\fIpkgdir\fR" 4
|
|
|
+Sets the sub-directory under the root directory where packages are

|
|
+located. The default can be determined by running \f(CWlsync --help\fR (see
|
|
|
+section \*(L"Current configuration").
|
|
|
+.Ip "\fB--subdirs=\fR\fIsubdirs\fR[,\fIsubdir\fR,...]" 4
|
|
|
+Sets one or more sub-directories of the access layer on which \fIlsync\fR\|(1)

+.SH "RESULTS"
|
|
|
+This program uses the following return codes on exit: 0 (operation
|
|
|
+successful), 1 (system error), 2 (command line error) and 3 (other user
|
|
|
+error).
|
|
|
+.SH "HISTORY"
|
|
|
+The idea of filesystem access layers consisting of symbolic links
|
|
|
+pointing to actual package installation areas is a rather old one. It
|
|
|
+dates back to the early days of Unix and was implemented many times over
|
|
|
+the last decades. One of many implementation was \fBGenOPT\fR, written by
|
|
|
+Ralf S. Engelschall for sd&m GmbH & Co KG, Munich in 1992. The name
|
|
|
+indicates the programs purpose: to generate symbolic links in an access
|
|
|
+layer which was located under \f(CW/opt\fR. \fBGenOPT\fR was very flexible, but
|
|
|
+hence also very complex. Because of lack of documentation it was never
|
|
|
+released and so only used at sd&m and on all machines which were under
|
|
|
+control of Ralf S. Engelschall.
|
|
|
+.PP
|
|
|
+For Cable & Wireless Deutschland GmbH, Munich, the old \fBGenOPT\fR
|
|
|
+principle was again needed to manage the \f(CW/cw/local\fR area on their
|
|
|
+servers. For this in November 2000 the functionality of \fBGenOPT\fR was
|
|
|
+revised, heavily stripped down and finally implemented from scratch. The
|
|
|
+result is the current \fBLSync\fR.
