NAME¶

get-publicfile-docs - get and install publicfile documentation

SYNOPSIS¶

get-publicfile-docs

DESCRIPTION¶

get-publicfile-docs downloads publicfile documentation from the publicfile upstream website
⟨URL: http://cr.yp.to/ ⟩ to /var/lib/publicfile/doc and makes it available from /usr/share/doc/publicfile via a symlink.

You are advised to run the script under a non-root useraccount. If needed permissions are lacking, instructions will be given on how to create needed directories. The script uses wget(1) to do the actual downloading.

BUGS¶

The script does not check wether the local copy of the downloaded documentation is up to date.

The script is a zsh shell script. Reimplementing it to use only Bourne shell features, so that it can run with smaller shells (like e.g. dash or the Almquist SHell) is planned.
