installing tusc

[Tim Killinger]

I am a very green ux sysadmin and need help installing 'tusc', which I have downloaded from a U of T website... I have two files. Can any one give me a quick list of steps to install it?

tusc-6.6-sd-11.00.depot.gz
tusc-6.6-ss-11.00.tar.gz

[Steven E. Protter · Accepted solution]

gunzip tusc-6.6-sd-11.00.depot.gz

You need the gunzip utility on your PATH to do this.

swinstall -s $PWD/tusc-6.6-sd-11.00.depot \*

Its installed.

for the other one:
gunzip tusc-6.6-ss-11.00.tar.gz

tar xvf tusc-6.6-ss-11.00.tar

Its done.

I think you have to use only one of these files. These are two different types of installation files (.depot and .tar).

1) If you are going to install .depot:
# gunzip tusc-6.6-sd-11.00.depot.gz
# swinstall (and give complete path of tusc-6.6-sd-11.00.depot)

2) If you are going to install .tar:
# gunzip tusc-6.6-sd-11.00.depot.gz
# tar -xvf tusc-6.6-ss-11.00.tar
swinstall the output file/package or run the install script.

the depot is the one you want. The other one is probably source code, which you can build a binary yourself with make.

gzip -d the depot file, the use swinstall -s /path/to/depot.

tusc source code is not released by the author.

another option is to get tusc from ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/ where you will find a shar file. I tend to unpack the shar file (sh ) in /usr/contrib/bin myself, but that is just personal preference.

IIRC, tusc is well beyond revision 6.6 now - it is somewhere in the 7's
