This fixes some test failures recently introduced by gnulib updates prompted by recent changes to the GNU coding standards, which now advise to use quotes 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. * NEWS: Document this. * README, README-hacking, doc/Makefile.am, scripts/backup.in: * scripts/backup.sh.in, scripts/dump-remind.in: * src/buffer.c, src/checkpoint.c, src/create.c, src/incremen.c: * src/misc.c, src/names.c, src/sparse.c, src/transform.c: * tests/incr02.at, tests/incremental.at, tests/multiv08.at: * tests/sparse04.at, tests/star/README, tests/update01.at: Quote 'like this' in comments. * src/tar.h: Quote "like this" in comments, when quoting English phrases rather than code. * configure.ac: * scripts/xsparse.c (get_var, read_xheader, main): * src/compare.c (diff_archive): * src/extract.c (prepare_to_extract): * src/tar.c (request_stdin, tar_set_quoting_style, doc, options) (set_subcommand_option, report_textual_dates, parse_opt) (decode_options, main): * src/xheader.c (decx): Quote 'like this' in diagnostics. * doc/tar.texi (list, warnings, override) (Selecting Archive Members, quoting styles, after, hard links) (Sparse Recovery, Multi-Volume Archives, label): Adjust documentation to match new output. * tests/backup01.at, tests/incr01.at, tests/incr04.at: * tests/label04.at, tests/label05.at, tests/link03.at: * tests/listed02.at, tests/multiv03.at, tests/multiv05.at: * tests/rename01.at, tests/rename02.at, tests/rename03.at: * tests/volume.at: Adjust tests to match new quoting behavior.

These notes intend to help people working on the Git version of
|
||
this package.
|
||
|
||
* Requirements
|
||
|
||
You need the following packages to build the Git version of GNU
|
||
tar. We do not make any efforts to accommodate older versions of
|
||
these packages, so please make sure that you have the latest stable
|
||
version.
|
||
|
||
- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
|
||
- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
|
||
- M4 <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
|
||
- Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo>
|
||
- Gnulib <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib>
|
||
- Git <http://git.or.cz>
|
||
|
||
* Bootstrapping
|
||
|
||
Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to clone
|
||
tar from Git. The next step is to get other files needed to build,
|
||
which are extracted from other source packages:
|
||
|
||
1. Change to the source tree directory
|
||
|
||
cd tar
|
||
|
||
2. Run
|
||
|
||
./bootstrap
|
||
|
||
Once done, proceed as described in the file README (section
|
||
INSTALLATION).
|
||
|
||
Normally you will have to run bootstrap only once. However, if you
|
||
intend to hack on GNU tar, you might need to run it again later. In
|
||
this case, you will probably want to save some time and bandwidth by
|
||
avoiding downloading the same files again. If so, create in GNU tar
|
||
root directory the file named '.bootstrap' with the following
|
||
contents:
|
||
|
||
--gnulib-srcdir=$HOME/gnulib
|
||
|
||
Replace '$HOME/gnulib' with the actual directory where the Gnulib
|
||
sources reside.
|
||
|
||
For more information about 'bootstrap', run 'bootstrap --help'.
