<http://sourceforge.net/projects/dar/> Summary (From Sourceforge): "DAR is a command-line backup tool, that uses compression, makes differential or full backups, which can be split over several files or disks. Dar saves *all* UNIX inode types, hard links, as well as Extended Attributes. And many other features ..." Tarball: <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dar/dar-2.1.3.tar.gz> This script configures DAR for 64bit mode instead of the "infinint" because of the extra memory and mips that demands. 4GB^2 should be enough for now? In any case it does not affect the save format. It's worth noting that a binary windows distribution also exists, making it a natural to use in a samba environment. Tim ----------- On a side note, it seems like the documentation on how to add new packages is out of date. I threw together this quick summary based on DNSMASQ, did I miss anything important? Example: DNSMASQ ./scripts/dnsmasq: Make script - calls make for package, both for build and install. Often calls the "configure" auto-config script to make "Makefile" first.. ./scripts/scripts/dnsmasq: Script to be installed into init.d for deamons. Startup, etc ./scripts/configuration/dnsmasq.config: Adds menu choice to "make menuconfig". Note that you need to pick the correct sub-menu location. ./scripts/configuration/help/dnsmasq.help: Help screen text for "make menuconfig" ./scripts/.buildorder/dnsmasq: Auto-generated by "make prepare" (I think) .configuration/profiles/default: Add line like "CONFIG_DNSMASQ=y" for package. (Is this needed??) |

Yes it will, it's still in my todo folder. I just have so much other stuff going on at the moment and I need to get a working DL version first, before I add more stuff. Heiko |

Hey, I finally added the dar package, sorry that it took so long. I did 3 changes to the script: - added $PMAKE to the make statment, to enable parallel builds on SMP machines - delete the tmp/usr/include directory - delete the tmp/usr/lib/*a files cu Heiko > > <http://sourceforge.net/projects/dar/> > > Summary (From Sourceforge): > > "DAR is a command-line backup tool, that uses compression, makes > differential or full backups, which can be split over several files or > disks.
