Notes
Unpacking aixpdslib packages (AIX)
These will expand into ./usr/local,
so e.g.:
cd / # into /usr/local
zcat tcp_wrappers.7.6plusipv6.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
Sometimes this is not what you would want, an alternative for example is:
cd /opt/ # into /opt
mkdir bzip2-1.0.2
mkdir usr
ln -sf ../bzip2-1.0.2 usr/local
zcat bzip2.1.0.2.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
Unpacking Bull freeware archives (AIX)
.exe archives from Bull will expand into /usr/local,
which is unwanted if the machine will
be an NFS client using this directory as a mount point.
In this case temporarily:
mkdir /opt
ln -s /opt /usr/local
prior to installation. .exe archives are self-extracting archives,
which eventually install into /usr/local, e.g.:
chmod u+x openssh-3.7.1.0.exe # executable
openssh-3.7.1.0.exe # self extract
inutoc ./ # creates a toc, if not there
creates a bff and an asc PGP file.
With these files
