1# @(#)README 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/8/93 2# 3# $FreeBSD$ 4 5<< 12 May 1983 >> 6To install this directory on your system: 7 8First determine a list of "common terminals" for your system. This list 9will probably be small, and can be empty if you like, but you should 10probably put your own terminal in it. 11 12Second, edit the editor script "reorder" to use this list instead of the 13list built in to it. The changes will be evident from looking at the 14script. Notice that the script contains the terminals in order from least 15common to most common, since the move commands will move them to the front 16in that order, the effect will be to put the most common at the front of 17termcap since that's moved last. The s.* terminals are specials, and 18although they don't have to go to the front, they are probably quite 19common and really should go near the front. 20 21Third, if you are not a super user and cannot create the directory 22/usr/lib/tabset, make a corresponding directory somewhere you can and add 23a line to reorder to globally change all /usr/lib/tabset's to your own 24path name. This change is better than just changing the termcap file 25because it makes it easier to diff it from newer distributed versions. 26Try to keep the source as is whenever possible, and put mungings into 27reorder. 28 29Now you can run "make install" which will create an /etc/termcap. Again, 30if you aren't a super user change the cp command to put it where you can. 31In this case you will have to redefine E_TERMCAP in "local/uparm.h", which 32will probably be in subdirectories with the other UCB software. 33 34 35Finally, if you make additions or fixes to termcap, please mail a note 36explaining what you did with the fixed termcap entry (not the whole file, 37please!) to me at one of the addresses below, so it can be incorporated 38back into the original source. I will normally include anything unless 39there is a good reason not to, but I reserve the right to redo it differently. 40 41 uunet!ucbvax!termcap (uucp) 42 termcap@berkeley.cs.edu (Internet) 43 44<< 14 October 1987 >> 45It is probably easiest to make local termcap changes in separate 46files, eg /usr/local/etc/termcap, and encourage people to put 47 48 setenv TERMPATH ~/.termcap:/usr/local/etc/termcap:/etc/termcap 49 50in their shell startup files. This way local system-wide changes can be 51isolated in /usr/local/etc/termcap and user changes in ~/.termcap, all 52without consuming lots of disk or requiring re-integration of local 53changes when system termcap files change. 54 55 John Kunze 56 termcap@berkeley.cs.edu 57 58
