+If you want to try some of tests, you first have to get the
+testfiles.tar.gz tarball. It is available at
+
+http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/testfiles.tar.gz
+
+and untar it as root in the testing directory. Root is required
+because the tarball contains device files, files with various uid/gid,
+etc. If you don't have root, it's ok, all the tests except for
+roottest.py may still work.
cd testing; tar -xvzf testfiles.tar.gz
Then run the various *test.py files, for instance:
cd testing; python lazytest.py
+
+If python restoretest.py doesn't work, try running ./makerestoretest3.
