The giFTcurs README
Christian Hggstrm <chm@c00.info>
Gran Weinholt <weinholt@dtek.chalmers.se>
INTRODUCTION
------------
giFTcurs is a curses based interface to the giFT daemon, a file sharing
system. It allows you to perform searches and control transfers and
uploads. It supports multiple simultaneous searches, filtering, viewing
meta data, customized ordering of search results and transfers, customized
listing of search results and transfers, and much more.
The current version number can be found in the NEWS file. giFTcurs is Free
Software and is licensed under the GNU GPL. See the file COPYING for the
exact copying conditions.
INSTALLATION
------------
See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
If things go well you should be able to run giFTcurs and connect to the
giFT daemon. If you don't have giFT, look at http://giftproject.org/.
The latest giFTcurs release should always work with the latest release of
giFT. Newer versions of giFT might have changes in the interface protocol.
If things don't work then you might need to get a newer version of
giFTcurs, visit http://www.nongnu.org/giftcurs/.
CONTACTING THE DEVELOPERS / GETTING SUPPORT
-------------------------------------------
You can find us in #giFTcurs on irc.freenode.net. These mailing lists are
available:
giFTcurs-user discussion between users
giFTcurs-devel discussion between developers
giFTcurs-commits changes to the CVS
Go to http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=giftcurs to subscribe or see
the list archives. See the AUTHORS file if you want to contact one of us
personally.
CONTRIBUTING
------------
If you wish to contribute to giFTcurs, you should build it from CVS, follow
the giFTcurs-commits mailing list, and at least subscribe to giFTcurs-devel
(the list isn't very active yet). The IRC channel is also a place where
it's nice to be, since you can talk to other developers much easier, and
get instant notification of commits to the CVS.
Patches should preferably be in unified context format. For indentation
rules, please refer to src/.indent.pro and indent. Updates to the .po files
should preferably be sent not as patches, but as whole files. Send your
contributions to the giFTcurs-devel list.
BUILDING FROM CVS
-----------------
When reporting a bug, please try to make sure that it is present in the CVS
version of giFTcurs. Run this to get the CVS source:
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/giftcurs co giFTcurs
Then whenever you want to update the source, just run "cvs -z3 up -Pd" in
the giFTcurs directory. To compile giFTcurs from CVS you must have the GNU
autotools (automake, autoconf), the ncurses headers, gettext and GLib 2. A
fairly recent (think 0.10.40) version of gettext is required, since we use
ngettext. With some operating systems you'll need the package gettext-devel
as well. To compile type this:
./autogen.sh
make
su
make install
A common problem is parse errors in the po/ directory, if this happens you
should try to run "cvs up -C" first. If this doesn't help, you probably
have a broken gettext installation.
PORTABILITY
-----------
giFTcurs is known to work on the following systems:
AmigaOS 3.0, Cygwin, Debian GNU/Linux, FreeBSD 5.1, Mac OS X, NetBSD
1.6.1, and Solaris.
Versions prior to giFTcurs 0.6.0 worked with at least these systems:
AIX, BeOS, Debian GNU/Hurd, Debian GNU/Linux bo hamm slink potato
woody, FreeBSD 4.4, Mac OS X, NetBSD 1.5.2, OpenBSD 3.0, SunOS,
Solaris, Tru64 (OSF1 V4.0), and cygwin.
Patches/suggestions which fix portability issues are highly appreciated.
