Glossary
- AFS
- A networked filesystem that is widely deployed at MIT and CMU.
scripts.mit.edu serves files from AFS.
- pristine
- The branch containing clean, unmodified copies of application code straight
from upstream, though possibly with blank .preserve-dir files
added to empty directories to preserve their existence in Git.
- versions store
- The directory residing in /mit/scripts/sec-tools/store/versions.
It is generated by parallel-find.pl (found at
/mit/scripts/sbin/parallel-find.pl) and conventionally
contains one file per locker, each containing install lines for every
autoinstall in that locker. This directory is used for determining
what “all autoinstalls” means and can be overridden using
--versions-path. A file can also be a versions store.
