NOTES FOR THE BETA VERSION OF PTHREADED UBIK This document describes how to build, and use, the new versions of ubik applications that have been modified to work with POSIX pthreads instead of LWP. Under the 'src' directory, contained herein, are 4 new directories that deal with pthreaded ubik applications. They are, as follows: * tubik - The pthreaded version of the ubik library. This is built from the source in the 'ubik' directory and, in its distributed form, contains only a Makefile.in * tptserver - The pthreaded version of the ptserver program. This is built from the source in the 'ptserver' directory and, in its distributed form, contains only a Makefile.in * tvlserver - The pthreaded version of the vlserver program. This is built from the source in the 'vlserver' directory and, in its distributed form, contains only a Makefile.in * tbudb - The pthreaded version of the buserver program. This is built from the source in the 'budb' directory and, in its distributed form, contains only a Makefile.in By default, all of these are built when doing a configure / make of the OpenAFS package. A new option has been added to the 'configure' script to control the packaging and installation of these new pthreaded ubik applications. When the '--enable-pthreaded-ubik' option (off by default) is specified, these components will be installed into the dest tree when a 'make dest' is run. If you DO NOT use this option at 'configure' time, you can still utilize these new binaries as follows: Assuming that you are using transarc paths in your configuration, you should copy ./src/tptserver/ptserver to /usr/afs/bin/ptserver ./src/tvlserver/vlserver to /usr/afs/bin/vlserver ./src/tbudb/budb_server to /usr/afs/bin/buserver after a successful build and install.
