OpenBSD

Dirvish

Since there is no OpenBSD package for the dirvish backup system, here are my installation steps:

  1. Download tgz from https://dirvish.org/.
  2. Install packages for perl modules specified in INSTALL:
    • POSIX - already installed when I checked; haven't checked a base system
    • Getopt::Long - already installed when I checked; haven't checked a base system
    • Time::ParseDate - p5-Time-modules
    • Time::Period - p5-Time-Period
  3. $ tar -xzvf dirvish-1.2.1.tgz
  4. $ cd dirvish-1.2.1
  5. $ doas sh install.sh
perl to use (/usr/bin/perl) 
What installation prefix should be used? () /usr/local
Directory to install executables? (/usr/local/sbin)
