-
-WARNING: THE PROGRAMS IN THIS SUITE DO *NOT* SUPPORT SHADOW PASSWORD FILES!
-
-WARNING: THIS COLLECTION DOES *NOT* SUPPORT SYSTEM V INITTAB.
-
-WARNING: USE GNU TAR -- OTHER TARS WILL FAIL SILENTLY!
-
-WARNING: DO *NOT* INSTALL WITHOUT THINKING.
-
-WARNING: Read the util-linux-2.2.bin.Notes file *BEFORE* and *AFTER*
- installation: there are a few links you must make by hand.
-
-WARNING: The agetty, simpleinit, login, passwd, and other programs in this
- package are *NOT* System V compliant. These utilities are meant
- to be used by people who build their own systems. If you are not
- a wizard, do *NOT* blindly install these utilities: they could
- prevent you from logging into your system. Have a boot floppy
- ready, especially if you don't know what you are doing.
-
-WARNING: The binary distribution was tarred using GNU TAR AND THE -S OPTION!
- This means that holes will be preserved, but that ONLY GNU TAR
- WILL WORK ON THE BINARY DISTRIBUTION (in fact, other, inferior,
- tar programs will fail silently). YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
-
-WARNING: localtime and posixtime default to US/Eastern -- change these now.
-
-
-
-To install from the binary distribution:
-
-1) Get binary distribution (see the .lsm file for locations)
-2) cd /
-3) gtar zpxvf util-linux-2.2.bin.tar.gz
- (or: pms -i util-linux-2.2.bin.tar.gz)
-4) *IF* you want to use agetty and simpleinit, then make softlinks from
- /sbin/init to simpleinit and from /sbin/getty to agetty, but make sure
- that your /etc/inittab is set up right (this is *NOT* the System V
- compatible init!), or you will be hosed.
-5) Run zic -l and/or zic -p to set your timezone. The distribution is set
- up to use /usr/lib/zoneinfo/US/Eastern as the default. This was
- installed with "zic -l US/Eastern"
-6) Remove all the old binaries from previous locations.
-
-
-
-To install from source:
-
-1) Get source distribution (see the .lsm file for locations)
-2) Untar util-linux-2.2.tar.gz in /usr/src
-3) cd util-linux-2.2
-4) Edit MCONFIG:
-
- If you use the shadow password suite and do _not_ want to install
- programs like login and passwd that do not support shadow passwords,
- then set HAVE_SHADOW to yes
-
- If you use the System V init suite and do _not_ want to install programs
- like agetty, simpleinit, and shutdown, then set HAVE_SYSVINIT to yes
-
- If you don't like the compile-time options or the directories, then
- change them. Note that you also can say something like "make OPT=-g
- LDFLAGS=" in order to make a complete debugging version without editing
- the MCONFIG at all.
-
-5) make
-6) make install
-7) If you want to use simpleinit and agetty, then make softlinks from
- /sbin/init to simpleinit and from /sbin/getty to agetty, but make sure
- that your /etc/inittab is set up right (this is *NOT* the System V
- compatible init!), or you will be hosed. If you are using the SysV
- init and/or some other getty, they you can keep using those.
-8) Run zic -l and/or zic -p to set your timezone. The distribution is set
- up to use /usr/lib/zoneinfo/US/Eastern as the default. This was
- installed with "zic -l US/Eastern"
-9) Remove all the old binaries from previous locations.
-
-
-
-HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
-1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
-2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
-3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
- For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
- util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
- directory.
-4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
- ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
- tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
-
-
-HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
-
-1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
- use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
- things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
- install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
-2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
-3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
- readprofile
-4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
- fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
- pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

-mount:
- mount, umount, swapon
-
- Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
- Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
- package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
- with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
- Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
- <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
- supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
- a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
- which restores the -o semantics.
-
- Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
- extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
- optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
- Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
- not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
- (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
- device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
- (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
- unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
- Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
- readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
- <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
- before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
- error reporting.
-
-historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
- <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
- Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
- were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
- modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
-
-sys-utils:
- MAKEDEV: Nick Holloway <Nick.Holloway@alfie.demon.co.uk>
- arch: Rik Faith <faith@cs.unc.edu>

- setserial: Michael K. Johnson (johnsonm@stolaf.edu) re-released Rick
- Sladkey's setserial in January 1993, with changes by
- Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu). I think that Theodore also
- did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
- notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore

+
+ Note: the GitHub repository may contain temporary development branches too.
+
+ The kernel.org repository contains master (current development) and stable/*
+ (maintenance) branches only. All master or stable/* changes are always pushed
+ to both repositories at the same time.
+
+ Repository Branches: 'git branch -a'
+ master branch
+ - current development
+ - the source for stable releases when deemed ready.
+ - day-to-day status is: 'it works for me'. This means that its
+ normal state is useful but not well tested.
+ - long-term development or invasive changes in active development are
+ forked into separate 'topic' branches from the tip of 'master'.
+
+ stable/ branches
+ - public releases
+ - branch name: stable/v<major>.<minor>.
+ - created from the 'master' branch after two or more release
+ candidates and the final public release. This means that the stable
+ releases are committed, tagged, and reachable in 'master'.
+ - these branches then become forked development branches. This means
+ that any changes made to them diverge from the 'master' branch.
+ - maintenance releases are part of, and belong to, their respective
+ stable branch. As such, they are tags(<major>.<minor>.<maint>) and
+ not branches of their own. They are not part of, visible in, or
+ have anything to do with the 'master' development branch. In git
+ terminology: maintenance releases are not reachable from 'master'.
+ - when initially cloned (as with the 'git clone' command given above)
+ these branches are created as 'remote tracking branches' and are
+ only visible by using the -a or -r options to 'git branch'. To
+ create a local branch use the desired tag with this command:
+ 'git checkout -b v2.29.2 v2.29.2'
+
+ Tags: 'git tag'
+ - a new tag object is created for every release.
+ - tag name: v<version>.
+ - all tags are signed by the maintainer's PGP key.
+
+ Known Bugs:
+ - don't use tag v2.13.1 (created and published by mistake),
+ use v2.13.1-REAL instead.
+
+WORKFLOW EXAMPLE:
+
+ 1) development (branch: <master>)
+
+ 2) master release (tags: v2.29-rc1, v2.29-rc2, v2.29, branch: <master>)
+
+ 3) development (work on v2.30, branch: <master>)
+
+ 4) fork -- create a new branch <stable/v2.29> based on tag v2.29
+
+ 4a) new patches or cherry-pick patches from <master> (branch: <stable/v2.29>)
+
+ 4b) stable release (tag: v2.29.1, branch: <stable/v2.29>)
+
+ 4c) more patches; another release (tag: v2.29.2, branch: <stable/v2.29>)
+
+ 5) master release v2.30 (branch: <master>)
+ ...
+
+where 3) and 4) happen simultaneously.
