Re: [rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup for MacOS X

[aurbain]

Hi, I use this: (which is broken on snowleopard, no time to look at that 
yet.)

#!/bin/bash

HOSTOS=`uname`
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"
echo "installing rdiff-backup on = $HOSTNAME"

if [ "$HOSTOS" = "Darwin" ]; then
  echo Darwin detected
  rm -rf librsync-0.9.7
  tar -xzvf librsync-0.9.7.tar.gz
  cd librsync-0.9.7
  aclocal
  autoconf
  automake --foreign --add-missing
  ranlib popt/libpopt.a
  env CFLAGS=-no-cpp-precomp ./configure
  make
  make install
  cd ..
  rm -rf rdiff-backup-1.2.8
  tar -xzvf rdiff-backup-1.2.8.tar.gz
  cd rdiff-backup-1.2.8
  python setup.py build
  python setup.py install
  # toss our script into the path
  ln -s /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup /usr/bin/rdiff-backup
  chmod +x /usr/bin/rdiff-backup
elif [ "$HOSTOS" = "SunOS" ]; then
