This list +will probably be small, and can be empty if you like, but you should +probably put your own terminal in it. + +Second, edit the editor script "reorder" to use this list instead of the +list built in to it. The changes will be evident from looking at the +script. Notice that the script contains the terminals in order from least +common to most common, since the move commands will move them to the front +in that order, the effect will be to put the most common at the front of +termcap since that's moved last. The s.* terminals are specials, and +although they don't have to go to the front, they are probably quite +common and really should go near the front. + +Third, if you are not a super user and cannot create the directory +/usr/lib/tabset, make a corresponding directory somewhere you can and add +a line to reorder to globally change all /usr/lib/tabset's to your own +path name. This change is better than just changing the termcap.src file +because it makes it easier to diff it from newer distributed versions. +Try to keep the source as is whenever possible, and put mungings into +reorder. + +Now you can run "make install" which will create an /etc/termcap. Again, +if you aren't a super user change the cp command to put it where you can. +In this case you will have to redefine E_TERMCAP in "local/uparm.h", which +will probably be in subdirectories with the other UCB software. + + +Finally, if you make additions or fixes to termcap, please mail a note +explaining what you did with the fixed termcap entry (not the whole file, +please!) to me at one of the addresses below, so it can be incorporated +back into the original source. I will normally include anything unless +there is a good reason not to, but I reserve the right to redo it differently. + + uunet!ucbvax!termcap (uucp) + termcap@berkeley.cs.edu (Internet) + +<< 14 October 1987 >> +It is probably easiest to make local termcap changes in separate +files, eg /usr/local/etc/termcap, and encourage people to put + + setenv TERMPATH ~/.termcap:/usr/local/etc/termcap:/etc/termcap + +in their shell startup files. This way local system-wide changes can be +isolated in /usr/local/etc/termcap and user changes in ~/.termcap, all +without consuming lots of disk or requiring re-integration of local +changes when system termcap files change. + + John Kunze + termcap@berkeley.cs.edu + |
