Subject: nic.funet.fi Linux directory structure [Diversification of development] Date: Tue, 12 Nov 1991 02:46:16 +0200 From: Ari Lemmke <arl@zen.cs.hut.fi>
I try to keep track on Linux at nic.funet.fi, but help
is welcome ...
After some thinking, I changed Linux FTP directory
structure to be more understandable (just check nic's
Minix directory /pub/minix !-)
nic.funet.fi:/pub/OS/Linux
kernel has kernel kits and device driver
add-ons.
images for all image files.
bin binaries to /bin and /usr/bin
tools binaries not usable for 'common' user.
doc documents and man-pages.
lib /lib and /usr/lib libraries.
xtra stuff not in previous categories.
Comments are still welcome!
I try to keep "ls -laR" listing in file 'ls-laR'. Informative
README file is at main level. Fixes/suggestions to that are welcome.
It is possible to "put" with FTP your fixes and add-ons to the main
Linux directory - they will not be available/readable after
putting ... not until I enable them (I try to find right
place for them - still mostly to 'xtra' directory).
