NAME¶

publicfile-installer - get, build and install publicfile

SYNOPSIS¶

get-publicfile [go]
build-publicfile [go]

DESCRIPTION¶

get-publicfile

get-publicfile downloads and verifies publicfile sources.

build-publicfile

build-publicfile builds the publicfile package from its sources, and optionally installs it.

The scripts get-publicfile and build-publicfile are pretty verbose. Both scripts are interactive (but see below).

OPTIONS¶

When get-publicfile or build-publicfile are passed the argument go, they run in non-interactive mode. This is useful when calling these scripts from within a package installer.

FILES¶

The scripts install files, and search for files in $HOME/.publicfile-installer/ and /usr/src/publicfile-installer/. The scripts are configured using /etc/publicfile-installer.conf and $HOME/.publicfile-installer.conf.

BUGS¶

get-publicfile runs dscverify; this command needs the public PGP key of the scripts author in the users GnuPG keyring. Therefore, before running get-publicfile, do run e.g. gpg --recv-key B8FAC2E250475B8CE940A91957930DAB0B86B067 in order to download or update this key.
