10 Download a gzip compressed archive |
|
11 ---------------------------------- |
|
12 vmm could be downloaded from the `download page`_ at `SourceForge`_. To |
|
13 extract the downloaded archive use ``tar xzf vmm-0.6.2.tar.gz``. This will |
|
14 create the new directory :file:`vmm-0.6.2` in the current working directory. |
|

|
16 Verify the downloaded archive |
|
17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
|
18 If you have downloaded the archive from the download site you can |
|
19 optionally verify the integrity_ of this archive. |
|
20 In order to verify the integrity of the archive you have to download the |
|
21 corresponding signature file (:file:`vmm-0.6.2.tar.gz.sig`) too. |
|
22 The signature can be verified using GPG_ or PGP_. |
|
23 For example to check the signature of the archive :file:`vmm-0.6.2.tar.gz` |
|
24 you can execute this command ``gpg --verify vmm-0.6.2.tar.gz.sig``. |
|
25 |
|
26 The tarball was signed by Pascal Volk (ID 0xC51139FE). |
|
27 Older releases (≦ 0.6.1) were signed with key ID 0xCEC0904E). |
|
28 You can fetch the public key from a key server using the command |
|
29 ``gpg --recv-keys 0xC51139FE``. |
|

|
31 Get vmm from the Mercurial repository |
|
32 ------------------------------------- |
|
33 To get a tagged clone of the current vmm release from the Mercurial_ |
|
34 repository use: |
|
35 ``hg clone http://hg.localdomain.org/vmm/ -r vmm-0.6.2 vmm-0.6.2``. |
|
36 This will put the files into the new created directory :file:`vmm-0.6.2`. |
|
37 |
|
38 When you omit the ``-r vmm-0.6.2`` option, you will get the latest changes |
|
39 from the `vmm repository`_. This code may work for you or not. |
|

|
41 Get vmm from the Git repository |
|
42 ------------------------------- |
|
43 The Debian project is hosting the `Git repository of vmm |
|
44 <http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/vmm.git>`_. |
|
45 The *upstream* branch is a mirror of the Mercurial *default* branch. |
|
46 The *master* branch is for Debian packaging. |
|
47 In order to clone the *upstream* branch use: |
|
48 ``git clone --branch upstream git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/vmm.git`` |
