@@ -3,17 +3,17 @@ For a distribution you need ".distr" files and RCS files.
The EM home directory contains a file called ".distr". It contains
the names of all the files and directories you want to have in the distribution.
The directories should contain .distr files, the other files should
be placed under RCS.
The current RCS revision name is "distr4".

These files should not be placed under RCS or CVS.
The file "Exceptions" in this directory contains the current list of

When all this is correct, use the shell script mktree the extract
the distribution from the EM tree.
cd ~em/Repositories ; sh ../Work/distr/mktree destination_tree Distr4 >../Work/distr/f.attf 2>&1
cd ~em/Repositories
sh ../Work/distr/mktree destination_tree > destination_tree/Version 2>../Work/distr/f.attf
Make sure that the destination tree exists and is empty!
Failing to do that will almost certainly result in a welter of
error messages.

Now you have the tree but not everything is kosher yet.
Some files derive from other files in the tree, those derivations should
be done with the use of an already installed distribution.
The files Action and Action1 in this directory contain the actions
we now take. (Confession: most of the time we use /usr/em)
The file Action in this directory contains the actions
we now take.
After running these re-derivation programs the distrubtion tree starts
to look like the tree you need.
There are too many files there though, especially the files created by
the derivation process.
That is why we now give the command:
dtar cdf distr4 .
The file distr4 is the one you should put on tape!
dtar cdf distr5 .
The file distr5 is the one you should put on tape!
But,.... before doing that: Try it out!
Repeat the process described in the installation manual.
Only if that succeeds you are sure that you included the files needed,
and gave all other files the correct "distr4" RCS id.
After you sent the tape away, forbid ANYBODY to touch the distr4 id
in your RCS files.
Only if that succeeds you are sure that you included the files needed.
