20 * To fetch the current CVS code run this commands:
22 mkdir somewhere/BackupPC
24 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@backuppc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/backuppc co BackupPC
26 * To fetch the CVS code tagged at a particular release (eg: v2.1.2):
28 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@backuppc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/backuppc co -r v2_1_2 BackupPC
30 Building an installable release from the CVS 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 Often the language files are not up to date, and makeDist exits after
42 complaining about the lang files being inconsistent. Use the -l option
43 to turn off that checking.
45 * You should now have a sub-directory dist/BackupPC-version containing
46 the release and a tar ball dist/BackupPC-VERSION.tar.gz. The tar
47 ball can be copied, extracted and installed using configure.pl
48 like any BackupPC release.
