The kernel from such an old distro version likely has several unfixed bugs. Better not to support it at all. Users who can upgrade the kernel are probably also sophisticated enough to fix the build issues too. Signed-off-by: Zygo Blaxell <bees@furryterror.org>

Building bees
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* C++11 compiler (tested with GCC 4.9, 6.3.0, 8.1.0)
|
|
|
|
Sorry. I really like closures and shared_ptr, so support
|
|
for earlier compiler versions is unlikely.
|
|
|
|
Note that the C++ standard--and GCC's implementation of it--is evolving.
|
|
There may be problems when building with newer compiler versions.
|
|
Build failure reports welcome!
|
|
|
|
* btrfs-progs
|
|
|
|
Needed at runtime by the service wrapper script.
|
|
|
|
* [Linux kernel version](btrfs-kernel.md) gets its own page.
|
|
|
|
* markdown for documentation
|
|
|
|
* util-linux version that provides `blkid` command for the helper
|
|
script `scripts/beesd` to work
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
bees can be installed by following one these instructions:
|
|
|
|
Arch package
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
bees is available in Arch Linux AUR. Install with:
|
|
|
|
`$ pacaur -S bees-git`
|
|
|
|
Gentoo package
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
bees is officially available in Gentoo Portage. Just emerge a stable
|
|
version:
|
|
|
|
`$ emerge --ask bees`
|
|
|
|
or build a live version from git master:
|
|
|
|
`$ emerge --ask =bees-9999`
|
|
|
|
You can opt-out of building the support tools with
|
|
|
|
`USE="-tools" emerge ...`
|
|
|
|
If you want to start hacking on bees and contribute changes, just emerge
|
|
the live version which automatically pulls in all required development
|
|
packages.
|
|
|
|
Build from source
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Build with `make`. The build produces `bin/bees` which must be copied
|
|
to somewhere in `$PATH` on the target system respectively.
|
|
|
|
It will also generate `scripts/beesd@.service` for systemd users. This
|
|
service makes use of a helper script `scripts/beesd` to boot the service.
|
|
Both of the latter use the filesystem UUID to mount the root subvolume
|
|
within a temporary runtime directory.
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu 16.04 - 17.04:
|
|
`$ apt -y install build-essential btrfs-tools markdown && make`
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu 18.10:
|
|
`$ apt -y install build-essential btrfs-progs markdown && make`
|
|
|
|
Packaging
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
See 'Dependencies' below. Package maintainers can pick ideas for building and
|
|
configuring the source package from the Gentoo ebuild:
|
|
|
|
<https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/tree/master/sys-fs/bees>
|
|
|
|
You can configure some build options by creating a file `localconf` and
|
|
adjust settings for your distribution environment there.
|
|
|
|
Please also review the Makefile for additional hints.
