20 * To fetch the current CVS code run this commands:
22 mkdir somewhere/BackupPC
24 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.backuppc.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/backuppc co BackupPC
26 * To fetch the CVS code tagged at a particular release (eg: v1.5.0):
28 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.backuppc.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/backuppc co -r v1_5_0 BackupPC
30 Building an installable release from the source:
31 -----------------------------------------------
33 * Edit makeDist and set the version number and release date
35 * Update makeDist and configure.pl if you add any new files to the release.
37 * Run makeDist. makeDist merges the version number, release date and turns
38 all the library paths etc back into the symbolic form (eg: __INSTALLDIR__)
39 so that configure.pl will do the right thing.
41 * You should now have a sub-directory dist/BackupPC-version containing
42 the release and a tar ball dist/BackupPC-version.tar.gz. The tar
43 ball can be copied, extracted and installed like any BackupPC release.
