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.
