[Devil-linux-develop] New Package "DAR" - powerful, flexible command line backups

[Tim T. <t....@co...>]

<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.

-----------
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packages is out of date.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??)
