[02] HOW DO I INSTALL MY OWN PROGRAMS FOR OTHERS TO USE? MetaARPA members have the priviledge of being able to install and maintain their own software for others of the SDF community to use. This is the 'UNIX' side of project TWENEX (a web based gallery system for free software presentation and distribution sponsored by the SDF). Basic rules: * the software must be free (GPL is fine) * the software must be documented (unix manpage preferred) * the software does not create conflicts (unique command name) * the software does not do anything malicious * the software does not bypass membership restrictions * the software does not violate sdf's AUP To install your software, use the prefix of '/sys/sdf' .. the hiearchy can be described as follows: /sys/sdf/bin # the location of executables /sys/sdf/lib # the location of libraries /sys/sdf/man # the location of manual pages /sys/sdf/src # the location of your source /sys/sdf/share # the location of shared files Anytime a piece of software is installed or updated an announcement must be made in the bboard: |
