295b9dbab341deac96c7f6166bea56f0fc7fa770 max Fri Feb 12 05:38:32 2021 -0800 changes after code review, refs #26951. Since all README files were merged into mirrorManual.txt in 2016, to avoid further confusion, I am removing them now. I manually merged all changes made since then (just 3-4 changes) into mirrorManual.txt now. mirrorManual.txt is automatically converted to https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/mirrorManual.html by the makefile in mirrorDocs. This makes sure that we have installation instructions that can be read with vi or less and at the same time we have a nice html file that is easy to read, looks like official documentation and is indexed by Google well. The big no.1 advantage of mirrorManual.txt is that the sections have an order in increasing complexity and the user knows where to start. The old README files had no order at all and the names were misleading (e.g. quickstart was not about a quickstart) diff --git src/product/README.requirements src/product/README.requirements deleted file mode 100644 index 2993fa0..0000000 --- src/product/README.requirements +++ /dev/null @@ -1,55 +0,0 @@ -======================================================================== - -Software Requirements: - -Apache2.x - http web server - http://httpd.apache.org/ -Linux/Ubuntu/CentOS/Unix/MacOSX operating system -gnu gcc - C code development system - http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/ -gnu make - http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ -MySQL development system and libraries - http://dev.mysql.com/ -libpng runtime and development packages - http://www.libpng.org/ -libssl runtime and development packages - http://www.openssl.org/ - -Optional: -'ghostscript' ps to pdf converter - http://ghostscript.com -'git' source code management: http://git-scm.com/downloads -'gmt' map plotting tools www.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt/ -'pstack' for stack traces - - -It is best to install these packages with your standard operating -system package management tools. - -======================================================================== - -Hardware requirements: - -We currently use the following hardware to support our website: - - 24 CPUs and 128Gb of memory for each of the six machines - 16 CPUs, 64 Gb of memory for the mySQL server - -The UCSC Genome Browser website experiences over one million hits per -day.
