19INSTALLATION
20------------
21To install cdbkup, you must walk through two steps:
22
231. Configuring package.
24
25 The GNU tar version 1.13 has a bug with --listed-incremental. This bug
26 appears in Linux (Slackware 7, 8; other?). See the COMPLIANCE file for
27 more info. You can work around the problem by applying the provided
28 patch:
29
30 $ patch < linuxtar_13.patch
31
32 After this procedure you can configure whole package. In this step just
33 type:
34
35 $ ./configure
36
37 for basic configuration.
38 The configure script accepts the --with-snardir=DIR option. This DIR
39 is a directory which will contain any *.snar and *.info files. The
40 user who makes backups must have write access to this directory. For
41 security reasons, this directory should not have read/write
42 permissions for other. You can define the user and group properties
43 with the --with-dumper=USER and --with-dumpgrp=GROUP options. The
44 default values are "root" and "operator" respectively.
45
46 $ ./configure --with-snardir=/usr/home/iam/snarfiles \
47 --with-dumper=iam --with-dumpgrp=mygroup
48
49
502. Installation.
51
52 After configuration made just install package with root privileges:
53
54 # make install
55
563. Enjoy!
