HOWTO

# Jigsaw Download (jigdo)
# ===============
# If you just want to download something and don't have jigdo, you may just
# want to install jigdo-lite.  It'll be quick and it doesn't require many
# prerequisites.  The source version (at the bottom) includes a GUI and other
# features that the lite version doesn't.

# Prerequisites (for both versions):
# fileutils or coreutils
# wget

# jigdo-lite 0.7.1
# ================
cd
test -f installed/jigdo-bin-0.7.1.tar.bz2 &&
mv installed/jigdo-bin-0.7.1.tar.bz2 .
test ! -f jigdo-bin-0.7.1.tar.bz2 &&
wget http://atterer.net/jigdo/jigdo-bin-0.7.1.tar.bz2
cd /usr/local
find -type d -maxdepth 1 -name "jigdo-bin-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xjvf ~/jigdo-bin-0.7.1.tar.bz2
chown -R root.root jigdo-bin-0.7.1
ln -sf jigdo-bin-0.7.1 jigdo
cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/jigdo-bin-*.tar.*
mv jigdo-bin-0.7.1.tar.bz2 installed/

## To run it:
# cd /usr/local/jigdo
# ./jigdo-lite

# jigdo 0.7.1
# ===========
# Prerequisites (in addition to the ones listed at the top):
# make
# gcc
# binutils
# gawk
# grep
# zlib
# libdb
# pkg-config
# gtk+ >= 2.0.6
# libwww >= 5.3.2
