The sparc-specific portion of the OpenBSD RELEASE release is found in the "sparc" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid out as follows: .../OpenBSD-RELEASE/sparc/ binary/ sparc binary distribution sets; see below. security/ sparc security distribution; see below; install/ Base GENERIC kernels, tools, and installation script. The OpenBSD/sparc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which comprise the OpenBSD RELEASE release for the sparc. There are seven binary distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "sparc/binary" subdirectory of the OpenBSD RELEASE distribution tree, and are as follows: base11 The OpenBSD/sparc RELEASE base binary distribution. You MUST install this distribution set. It contains the base OpenBSD utilities that are necessary for the system to run and be minimally functional. It includes shared library support, and excludes everything described below. [ 8.0M gzipped, 24.4M uncompressed ] comp11 The OpenBSD/sparc Compiler tools. All of the tools relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!). This set includes the system include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain, and the various system libraries (except the shared libraries, which are included as part of the base set). This set also includes the manual pages for all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system call and library manual pages. [ 5.4M gzipped, 17.6M uncompressed ] etc11 This distribution set contains the system configuration files that reside in /etc and in several other places. This set MUST be installed if you are installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.) [ 62K gzipped, 338K uncompressed ] games11 This set includes the games and their manual pages. [ 2.9M gzipped, 7.4M uncompressed ] man11 This set includes all of the manual pages for the binaries and other software contained in the base set. Note that it does not include any of the manual pages that are included in the other sets. [ 0.8M gzipped, 3.3M uncompressed ] misc11 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are rather large), the typesettable document set, and man pages for other architectures which happen to be installed from the source tree by default. [ 1.9M gzipped, 6.6M uncompressed ] text11 This set includes OpenBSD's text processing tools, including groff, all related programs, and their manual pages. [ 0.8M gzipped, 3.1M uncompressed ] The sparc security distribution set is named "secr11" and can be found in the "sparc/security" subdirectory of the OpenBSD RELEASE distribution tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found on those sites which carry the complete OpenBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, this distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) [ 127K gzipped, 337K uncompressed ] The sparc binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set form a gzipped tar file. Each sparc binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. The binary sets are "rooted" at /, that is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xfp" from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for you. The "sparc/install" directory contains an install script, and two GENERIC kernels. As well, the distribution cannot be extracted using the SunOS "tar" program so SunOS statically-linked versions of gzip (GNU gzip) and gtar (GNU tar) are provided.
