the heirloom project provides traditional unix tools
original site: http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/
i'd like to try to get this working with static compiled musl libc
sourceforge has been getting progressively flakier and cvs access/locking is hit or miss at best
use the musl branch
compiling with a musl-cross-make toolchain should work for:
- heirloom
- heirloom-sh
- heirloom-devtools
- heirloom-doctools
- heirloom-ex-vi
- traditional vi (aka ex-vi): http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/vi.html
- musl branch has sbrk() fixes, setup for ncurses, and is configured to install in
/usr/local/heirloom - works for normal editing tasks but isn't extensively tested
- for something else: vim, neovim, elvis, nvi, busybox vi, ...
build in that order - should just be a make && make install
compilation is static, meaning you need musl libc, libstdc++, etc, .a libs
everything is installed under /usr/local/heirloom by default
| item | original path | new path |
|---|---|---|
| default (no personality) bin | /usr/5bin | /usr/local/heirloom/bin |
| default sbin | /usr/5bin | /usr/local/heirloom/sbin |
| default lib directory | /usr/5lib | /usr/local/heirloom/lib |
| defualt man directory | /usr/share/man/5man | /usr/local/heirloom/share/man |
| default files | /etc/default | /usr/local/heirloom/etc/default |
| SVID3/SVR4-style binaries | /usr/5bin | /usr/local/heirloom/5bin/sv3 |
| SVID4/SVR4.2-style binaries | /usr/5bin/s42 | /usr/local/heirloom/5bin/s42 |
| POSIX.2/SUS-style binaries | /usr/5bin/posix | /usr/local/heirloom/5bin/posix |
| POSIX.1-2001/SUSv3-style binaries | /usr/5bin/posix2001 | /usr/local/heirloom/5bin/posix2001 |
| SVR4 UCB-style binaries | /usr/ucb | /usr/local/heirloom/ucb |
| UCB-style libraries | /usr/ucblib | /usr/local/heirloom/ucblib |
| development binaries | /usr/ccs/bin | /usr/local/heirloom/ccs/bin |
| development lib directory | /usr/ccs/lib | /usr/local/heirloom/ccs/lib |
| development man directory | /usr/ccs/share/man | /usr/local/heirloom/ccs/share/man |
probably something like (suit 5bin subdir order to taste for your environment):
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/heirloom/5bin/posix2001
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/heirloom/5bin/posix
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/heirloom/ucb
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/heirloom/ccs/bin
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/heirloom/5bin/s42
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/heirloom/5bin/sv3
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/heirloom/sbin
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/heirloom/bin
export PATH
- heirloom-pkgtools does not work and frankly i might not bother
- heirloom-nail does not work
- mailx (aka nail) was from: http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html
- this doesn't work right now, not sure it ever will
- use something else, preferably something newer
settimeis a broken symlink totouchtroffandnroffprobably need work- apply NROFF/TROFF base settings from heirloom-doctools/README in heirloom/man/man.dfl.in
htemp2in heirloom/spell breaks parallel make- git submodules
- won't work with "releases"; i.e., a tag wouldn't include (necessary) submodules
- include dedicated netbsd-curses: https://github.com/sabotage-linux/netbsd-curses
- include sortix libz: https://sortix.org/libz/
- include bzip2: http://www.bzip.org/
- unify SUSBIN into DEFBIN?
bison -y,flex, etc., vars/calls should be replaced with standardyacc,lex, etc.- internal /usr/local/heirloom paths should be avoided for
install, etc.
this is a git import of an rsync export of a cvs repository
something like:
mkdir -p heirloom
cd heirloom
mkdir -p cvs
rsync -ai a.cvs.sourceforge.net::cvsroot/heirloom/. ./cvs/.
mkdir -p git
mkdir -p cvs2git-tmp
cd cvs
cvs2git --blobfile=../cvs2git-tmp/git-blob.dat --dumpfile=../cvs2git-tmp/git-dump.dat --username=cvs2git
cd ../git
git init --bare heirloom.git
cd heirloom.git
cat ../cvs2git-tmp/git-blob.dat ../cvs2git-tmp/git-dump.dat | git fast-import
git gc --prune=now
cd ..
mkdir -p clone
cd clone
git clone ../heirloom.git
cd heirloom
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin git@github.com:ryanwoodsmall/heirloom-project.git
git push -u origin master
git tag -a -m 'initial checkin of heirloom project from sourceforge rsync of cvs repos - cvs2git - github' 20180622-sf-rsync-cvs2git
