CVS README - Notes for people checking out of CVS
-------------------------------------------------
Getting rdiff-backup to run:
----------------------------
If you want to run a version of rdiff-backup checked out of CVS into
your $RDB_CVS directory, change to $RDB_CVS/rdiff_backup and run the
./compilec.py file:
cd $RDB_CVS/rdiff_backup; python compilec.py
With any luck, _librsync.so and C.so libraries will appear in that
directory. Then run rdiff-backup, making sure that all the files are
in your PYTHONPATH:
PYTHONPATH=$RDB_CVS $RDB_CVS/rdiff-backup <arguments>
Running the unit tests:
-----------------------
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
To untar it, 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.
So, three steps:
1) Make sure the the C modules are compiled as explained above:
cd $RDB_CVS/rdiff_backup; python compilec.py
2) Untar the testfiles tarball, as root if you have it:
cd $RDB_CVS/testing; tar -xvzf testfiles.tar.gz
3) In the testing directory, run each of the *test.py files as
desired. For instance,
cd $RDB_CVS/testing; python rpathtest.py
If python restoretest.py doesn't work, try running
./makerestoretest3
Note:
- some of the tests may require a normal user ben and group ben to exist.
- you may need to install extra packages for acl/xattr... (such as
python-pylibacl and python-pyxattr on debian)
