Basic Installation
==================

These are the instructions for compiling and installing zsync for your
system. These are mostly generic instructions on how to use the normal
configure/make/gcc tools to build zsync - apart from the one paragraph below,
nothing else is specific to zsync here.

zsync uses the crypto library from OpenSSL. This is used to provide and
verify SHA-1 checksums on downloaded files. If your OS comes with OpenSSL, you
should install the OpenSSL development headers (usually in a package called
openssl-devel or libssl-dev or something of that kind). zsync will compile
without OpenSSL - but you lose the signature verification, and zsync will warn
you about this.

The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
(useful mainly for debugging `configure'). If at some point `config.cache'
contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.

If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
be considered for the next release.

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
`configure' itself.

Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
messages telling which features it is checking for. If you see the
message "checking for SHA1_Init in -lcrypto... no" it means that
configure was unable to find your OpenSSL headers - zsync will still
be compiled, but without support for checksum verification on the
downloaded file.

2. Type `make' to compile the package.

3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
documentation. If you prefer, you can just run zsync out of its own
directory - zsync requires no data files, `make install' just makes it
easier to use by putting the programs and manuals into the normal paths
on your system.

4. After `make install', you can remove the program binaries and object
files from the source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also
remove the files that `configure' created (so you can compile the
package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.

Compilers and Options
=====================

Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
this:
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure

Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure

Compiling For Multiple Architectures
====================================

You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.

If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
architecture.

Installation Names
==================

By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
option `--prefix=PATH'.

You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.

In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.

If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.

Optional Features
=================

Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
package recognizes.

Specifying the System Type
==========================

There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM

See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
need to know the host type.

If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
system on which you are compiling the package.

Sharing Defaults
================

If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.

Operation Controls
==================

`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
operates.

`--cache-file=FILE'
Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
`./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
debugging `configure'.

`--help'
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.

`--quiet'
`--silent'
`-q'
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
messages will still be shown).

`--srcdir=DIR'
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.

`--version'
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
script, and exit.

`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.

zsync 0.0.1
===========

zsync is a file transfer program. It allows you to download a file from a
remote web server, where you have a copy of an older version of the file on
your computer already. zsync downloads only the new parts of the file. It uses
the same algorithm as rsync.

zsync does not require any special server software or a shell account on the
remote system (rsync, in comparison, requires that you have an rsh or ssh
account, or that the remote system runs rsyncd). Instead, it uses a control
file - a .zsync file - that describes the file to be downloaded and enables
zsync to work out which blocks it needs. This file can be created by the admin
of the web server hosting the download, and placed alongside the file to
download - it is generated once, then any downloaders with zsync can use it.
Alternatively, anyone can download the file, make a .zsync and provide it to
other users (this is what I am doing for the moment).

The zsync web site is at http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ . There are likely to be
frequent releases, so check back often.

Installation
------------

See the file INSTALL for instructions on compiling and (optionally) installing
zsync.

As zsync is still at a very early stage, you may prefer not to install it, and
to run the program where you compile it. It will work fine that way - it has no
data files or libraries. The man(1) program on some systems will let you read
the man pages without installing them, e.g. man -l doc/zsync.1 .

zsync is free software. There is no implied support, no implied fitness for
purpose, no warranty. You use it at your own risk.

Use
---

In its simplest form:

zsync http://some.example.com/downloads/my-big-download.tar.zsync

Someone has to make a .zsync file for the download before you can use zsync. As
I am only just releasing 0.0.1, there won't be many such downloads around :-).
And you have to have an older copy of the file around, otherwise there is
little point in using zsync - zsync normally looks in the current directory for
a file of the same name as the one being downloaded (note: if the download is a
.gz file, the local file should be uncompressed - use gzip -d to decompress it
first). If the local file is not in the current directory or has a different
name, you can specify it with -i, e.g.:

zsync -i /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages http://zsync.moria.org.uk/streams/sarge/Packages.zsync

To offer a zsync download, use the zsyncmake program to produce a .zsync file.
You have to have a local copy of the file that you will be offering to
download.

zsyncmake -u http://some.example.org/downloads/my-big-download.tar.gz my-big-download.tar.gz

Note that zsync requires both the public URL for the full download, and a local
copy of the same file. Users will still need access to the full downloads -
zsync merely allows then to save time by only downloading parts of the file.

zsync will produce a file with the same name (but possibly removing any
extension for compression) with .zsync appended; this is the control file. You
then put this on your web server, and people can use the zsync client with it.

Feedback, Support
