fdclone for Debian ------------- Major differences from the original distribution o As the Debian package, this package is installed at /usr. (In the source package, debian/rules set PREFIX=/usr) o Distributor is set according to the Author's guildeline. (In the source package, version.h is modified) o To fulfill FHS, fd-unicd.tbl is installed in /usr/share/fdclone instead of /usr/bin. (In the Source Package, config.hin has defined USEDATADIR, and debian/rules set DATADIR=/usr/share/fdclone) o Default configuration file (DEFRC) for this Debian package is /etc/fdclone/fd2rc, not /etc/fdrc as original. (In the Source Pacage, debian/rules set DEFRC=/etc/fdclone/fd2rc) o Temporary directory/file for archive browsing is created with the mode 0700/0600 instead of the original (umask & 0777/0644). (/etc/fdclone/fd2rc defines TMPUMASK=077) o The hard-coded default pager is not "more" but "/usr/bin/pager", and the hard-coded default editor is "/usr/bin/editor". (fd.h has the modified definition of PAGER/EDITOR in Source Package) The system-wide default configuration file (/etc/fdclone/fd2rc) do NOT define PAGER and EDITOR in order to respect the user's settings on the corresponding environmental variables. You can also use $HOME/.fd2rc to define per-user settings. o Users' site specific configurations can be put into /etc/fdclone/fd2rc.siteconfig because the default configuration file (/etc/fdclone/fd2rc) read that file at the end. (The file fd2rc.siteconfig is not included in this package, but is created by the postinst script if it didn't exist.) You should avoid to edit /etc/fdclone/fd2rc itself for smooth upgrade. o *.deb and .rpm archive browsing support has been added to /etc/fdclone/fd2rc. o /etc/fdclone/fd2rc has some customized setting for Debian. Please read it carefully. o Directory /usr/share/doc/fdclone/examples/ has a following file: _fd2rc.gz : original sample configuration file If you want to know more about the configuration file, then I'd recommend to investigate them. -- Taketoshi Sano , Tue, 19 Feb 2002 23:21:25 +0900
