UNIX Product Support (UPS) Overview

In this appendix we discuss the Fermilab product support structure, UPS. We recommend that you read and understand this material before performing any of the tasks described in Chapter 10.

[Missing image]The information in this appendix has been taken from UNIX Product Methodology at Fermilab: Guide to Using UPS v3 and UPD v2 for Product Maintenance, Installation, Distribution and Development (GU0014), but covered here in much less detail, appropriate to the different audience. We refer you to that document if you need further information.

Notice of Upcoming Changes

UPS and UPD are currently undergoing redevelopment with a significantly different design. The new versions and accompanying documentation are due for release in the first half of 1998.
