This is GNU tar.
|
||
|
||
This is a *pre-release* version, and not ready for production use yet.
|
||
Please send comments and problem reports to <bug-tar@gnu.org>.
|
||
|
||
If you have taken the sources from CVS you will need the following
|
||
packages (or later) to build GNU tar. We don't make any extra effort
|
||
to accommodate older versions of these packages. If we discover that
|
||
newer versions are needed to bootstrap, we'll update the version
|
||
numbers in this list.
|
||
|
||
autoconf 2.59
|
||
automake 1.8
|
||
bison 1.875
|
||
gettext 0.12.1
|
||
m4 1.4
|
||
wget 1.7
|
||
|
||
For GNU m4 1.4, we recommend also installing the `translit' patch; see
|
||
Debian bug 211477 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=211477>.
|
||
This patch is bundled into Debian m4 1.4-17 or later.
|
||
|
||
Before building the package, run "bootstrap". It obtains various
|
||
additional files from the CVS repository and the Translation Project
|
||
site and prepares the source directory for building.
|
||
|
||
When run without arguments, bootstrap will try to obtain gnulib files
|
||
from CVS repository on savannah using anonymous SSH access. Then, it
|
||
will fetch the po files from tar page at Translation Project, and,
|
||
finally, it will start autoconfiguration process. Simply running
|
||
it without arguments should do in most cases. Several options
|
||
allow to control the behavior of bootstrap:
|
||
|
||
|
||
--gnulib-srcdir=DIRNAME Specify the local directory where gnulib
|
||
sources reside. Use this if you already
|
||
have gnulib sources on your machine, and
|
||
do not want to waste your bandwidth dowloading
|
||
them again.
|
||
--cvs-auth=METHOD Set the CVS access method used for downloading
|
||
gnulib files. METHOD is one of the keywords
|
||
accepted by cvs -d option (see info cvs
|
||
repository).
|
||
--cvs-user=USERNAME Set the CVS username to be used when accessing
|
||
the gnulib repository.
|
||
--no-po Do not download po files.
|
||
|
||
Notice also that when using CVS authentication method "ext", bootstrap
|
||
will set the variable CVS_RSH to "ssh", unless it is already set to
|
||
some other value.
