- Directory:
- /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external
-
- contains:
-
- tarFiles/* -- original sources of the packages as downloaded from the
-              external sites
-
- distribution/* -- tar files of the packages as installed (and
-                  possibly compiled with LCG psecific options)
-                  in the lcg/external area
-
- * -- installed packages
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The tar files in 'distribution' directory have the following naming
- convention:
-
- XXX__LCG_platf.tar.gz
-
- XXX is the original name of the package (as in tarFiles) and it
- always contains the version number
-
- The suffix LCG indicates that the package has been compiled specially for
- LCG (e.g. modified compiler switches). The suffix LCG is added always even
- if the package is compiled without such modifications. This is consistent
- and future-proof. Unique "platf" string is added always, because some
- packages do not have it and if they do they use different formats.
-
- Java and compiler independent packages should have special platform string:
- example:
- XXX__LCG_share.tar.gz
-
- 'distribution' directory will be used by pacman to retrieve the files for
- external download. So it should be kept in sync with the
- package installations in lcg/external
