| 151 This program activates software packages which were locally | |
| 152 installed in a sub-directory of a package hierarchy (located under | |
| 153 \&\fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/) by managing symbolic links in an access layer | |
| 154 (located under \fIroot\fR/) corresponding to package installation | |
| 155 files (found in \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/pkgname/subdir/) which need to be | |
| 156 collected in global directories (located under \fIroot\fR/subdir/). | |
| 157 .PP | |
| 158 The purpose of this is that individual packages can be installed and | |
| 159 deinstalled seperately without interfering with other packages while | |
| 160 all packages as a whole still can be treated like a single package | |
| 161 (installed into the access layer). | |
| 162 .PP | |
| 163 The | |
| 164 actual creation of symbolic links is as following (\*(L"foo\*(R" indicating an | |
| 165 arbitrary file; \*(L"bar\*(R" indicating an arbitrary package name): | |

| 184 (\fBMANPATH="..:\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/man:.."\fR). Keep in mind that \fBopenpkg lsync\fR | |
| 185 activates any files found in the \fBman/man\f(BIN\fB\fR sub-directory of the | |
| 186 package, but the \fIman\fR\|(1) tool usually requires the filename scheme | |
| 187 foo\fB.\fR\fIN\fR before it can find the file. | |

| 191 as \fIroot\fR\fB/info/\fRfoo. It can be found by the \fIinfo\fR\|(1) and \fIpinfo\fR\|(1) | |
| 192 tools by placing \fIroot\fR\fB/info\fR into the environment variable | |
| 193 \&\f(CW\*(C`INFOPATH\*(C'\fR (\fBINFOPATH="..:\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/info:.."\fR). Keep in mind that | |
| 194 \&\fBopenpkg lsync\fR activates any files found in the \fBinfo/\fR sub-directory of the | |
| 195 package, but the \fIinfo\fR\|(1) and \fIpinfo\fR\|(1) tools usually require the filename | |
| 196 scheme foo\fB.info\fR before it can find the file. | |
| 197 .IP "\fIroot\fR\fB/include/\fRfoo \-> \fB../\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/include/\fRfoo" 4 | |
| 198 .IX Item "root/include/foo -> ../pkgdir/bar/include/foo" | |
| 199 This activates the C header \fIroot\fR\fB/\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/include\fR/foo | |
| 200 as \fIroot\fR\fB/include/\fRfoo. It can be found by the C/\*(C+ compilers | |
| 201 by adding \fIroot\fR\fB/include\fR to their include search path (\fBcc .. | |
| 202 \&\-I\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/include\fR \fB...\fR). Keep in mind that \fBopenpkg lsync\fR activates any | |
| 203 files found in the \fBinclude/\fR sub-directory of the package, but the | |
| 204 C/\*(C+ compiler usually by convention use the filename scheme foo\fB.h\fR. | |
| 205 .IP "\fIroot\fR\fB/lib/\fRfoo \-> \fB../\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/lib/\fRfoo" 4 | |
| 206 .IX Item "root/lib/foo -> ../pkgdir/bar/lib/foo" | |
| 207 This activates the C library \fIroot\fR\fB/\fR\fIpkgdir\fR\fB/\fRbar\fB/lib\fR/foo | |
| 208 as \fIroot\fR\fB/lib/\fRfoo. It can be found by the C/\*(C+ compilers (and | |
| 209 the linker they use) by adding \fIroot\fR\fB/lib\fR to their library search | |
| 210 path (\fBcc .. \-L\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/lib\fR \fB...\fR). It can be found by the Unix | |
| 211 Dynamic Loader by adding \fIroot\fR\fB/lib\fR to the environment variable | |
| 212 \&\f(CW\*(C`LD_LIBRARY_PATH\*(C'\fR (\fBLD_LIBRARY_PATH="..:\fR\fIroot\fR\fB/lib:.."\fR). | |
| 213 Keep in mind that \fBopenpkg lsync\fR activates any files found in the \fBlib/\fR | |
| 214 sub-directory of the package, but the C/\*(C+ compiler usually require the | |
| 215 filename scheme \fBlib\fRfoo\fB.a\fR and the Unix Dynamic Loader the filename | |
| 216 scheme \fBlib\fRfoo\fB.so\fR before they actually can use the file. | |
| 217 .PP | |
| 218 It is obvious that more sub-directories in a package installation | |
| 219 might exist \*(-- for instance \fBshare/\fR, \fBvar/\fR, \fBlibexec/\fR, etc. But | |
| 220 \&\fBopenpkg lsync\fR intentionally does not link files in those directories into | |
| 221 corresponding directories of the access layer, because those files do | |
| 222 not require that they are located in a global area in order to be used. | |
| 223 So \fBopenpkg lsync\fR only creates the access layer for files where a common area | |
| 224 is required for (easy) use. | |
| 225 .SH "SPECIAL FEATURES" | |
| 226 .IX Header "SPECIAL FEATURES" | |
| 227 There are two special features supported by \fBopenpkg lsync\fR: | |
| 228 .IP "\fBRun-Command Files\fR" 4 | |
| 229 .IX Item "Run-Command Files" | |
| 230 \&\fBopenpkg lsync\fR on startup implicitly reads command line options from | |
| 231 \&\f(CW\*(C`.lsyncrc\*(C'\fR files. They are searched in all parent directories and in | |
| 232 the callers home directory. Their contents is prepended to the list of | |
| 233 given command line options. | |
| 234 .IP "\fBMultiple Package Versions\fR" 4 | |
| 235 .IX Item "Multiple Package Versions" | |
| 236 \&\fBopenpkg lsync\fR skips all directories under \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/ which contain | |
| 237 the pattern \*(L"\-[0\-9]\*(R" in their directory name. On the other hand, | |
| 238 \&\fBopenpkg lsync\fR follows also symbolic links under \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/. | |
| 239 This can be used for installing multiple versions of a package and | |
| 240 switching between them. For instance, if version 1.0 of package | |
| 241 \&\*(L"foo\*(R" is installed into directory \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo\-1.0, | |
| 242 version 1.1 into \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo\-1.1 and version 1.2 into | |
| 243 \&\fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo\-1.2, \fBopenpkg lsync\fR does skip all three. To enable | |
| 244 version 1.1 one just creates a symbolic link \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo | |
| 245 pointing to foo\-1.1. Then \fBopenpkg lsync\fR picks up the files in | |
| 246 \&\fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo\-1.1. If you want to temporarily upgrade to | |
| 247 foo\-1.2, all you have to do is to change the symlink pointing from | |
| 248 foo\-1.1 to foo\-1.2. | |
| 249 .IP "\fBTemporarily Deactivated Package\fR" 4 | |
| 250 .IX Item "Temporarily Deactivated Package" | |
| 251 One can deactivate a package \*(L"foo\*(R" by going to \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo/ | |
| 252 and running \*(L"openpkg lsync \-\-local \-\-uninstall\*(R", of course. Alternatively | |
| 253 one can set the sticky bit on the directory \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo. | |
| 254 Then \fBopenpkg lsync\fR also skips the package. Alternatively, assume | |
| 255 package \*(L"foo\*(R" as a whole should not be deactivated, but its | |
| 256 \&\fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo/lib directory (usually because this directory | |
| 257 unfortunately contains non-library files), one just sets the sticky bit | |
| 258 on \fIroot\fR/\fIpkgdir\fR/foo/lib. | |

| 318 The idea of filesystem access layers consisting of symbolic links | |

| 320 dates back to the early days of Unix and was implemented many times over | |
| 321 the last decades. One of many implementation was \fBGenOPT\fR, written by | |
| 322 Ralf S. Engelschall for sd&m GmbH & Co \s-1KG\s0, Munich in 1992. The name | |
| 323 indicates the programs purpose: to generate symbolic links in an access | |
| 324 layer which was located under \f(CW\*(C`/opt\*(C'\fR. \fBGenOPT\fR was very flexible, but | |
| 325 hence also very complex. Because of lack of documentation it was never | |
| 326 released and so only used at sd&m and on all machines which were under | |
| 327 control of Ralf S. Engelschall. | |

| 329 For Cable & Wireless, Munich, the old \fBGenOPT\fR principle was again | |
| 330 needed to manage the \f(CW\*(C`/cw/local\*(C'\fR area on their servers. For this in | |
| 331 November 2000 the functionality of \fBGenOPT\fR was revised, heavily | |
| 332 stripped down and finally implemented from scratch. The result is the | |
| 333 current \fBopenpkg lsync\fR. | |
