#======================================================================== # # CVS_README - CVS README file for BackupPC. # # DESCRIPTION # Instructions for using CVS # # AUTHOR # Craig Barratt # #======================================================================== # # See http://backuppc.sourceforge.net. # #======================================================================== Fetching CVS: ------------ * To fetch the current CVS code run this commands: mkdir somewhere/BackupPC cd somewhere/BackupPC cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.backuppc.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/backuppc co BackupPC * To fetch the CVS code tagged at a particular release (eg: v1.5.0): cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.backuppc.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/backuppc co -r v1_5_0 BackupPC Building an installable release from the CVS source: --------------------------------------------------- * Edit makeDist and set the version number and release date * Update makeDist and configure.pl if you add any new files to the release. * Run makeDist. makeDist merges the version number, release date and turns all the library paths etc back into the symbolic form (eg: __INSTALLDIR__) so that configure.pl will do the right thing. Often the language files are not up to date, and makeDist exits after complaining about the lang files being inconsistent. Use the -l option to turn off that checking. * You should now have a sub-directory dist/BackupPC-version containing the release and a tar ball dist/BackupPC-VERSION.tar.gz. The tar ball can be copied, extracted and installed using configure.pl like any BackupPC release.
