- This is GNU tar.
- This is a *pre-release* version, and not ready for production use yet.
- Please send comments and problem reports to <[email protected]>.
- 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 and
- paxutils files from their corresponding CVS repositories 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.
- --paxutils-srcdir=DIRNAME Specify the local directory where paxutils
- sources reside. Use this if you already
- have paxutils 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.
