README for maintainers: $Date: 2000/08/07 13:17:15 $
===========================================================================

This is the README file specifically for maintainers.  It has the following
sections:
    - BUILDING FROM A SOURCE TREE
    - PRODUCT VERSION NUMBER



BUILDING FROM A SOURCE TREE

After populating your workarea, make sure you've installed the sysadm_base
and FailSafe packages mentioned in the INSTALL file.

You will need to run the following commands before running "make":

    aclocal
    autoheader
    automake --add-missing
    autoconf
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc

(You may also need --with-JAVAPATH=/usr/jdk118/bin, etc.)

At this point, you should be able to run "make rpm".

This works on the following systems:

    RedHat 6.2
        autoconf-2.13
        automake-1.4
        gettext-0.10.35
        gmake-3.78.1
        libtool-1.3.4

    SuSE 6.4
        autoconf-2.13
        automake-1.4
        gettext-0.10.35? not used?
        gmake-3.78.1
        libtool-1.3.4



PRODUCT VERSION NUMBER

The version is stored in configure.in.  The value set there is available in
C/C++ files through config.h and Java files through
packages/com/sgi/fsmgr/fsPackageP.properties (which is generated from
fsPackageP.properties.in at configure time).  The
/var/lib/sysadm/products/.../version link is created by misc/Makefile.am.
