irdu-backup uses tarfile, written by Lars Gustäbel. The following
notice was included in the tarfile distribution:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
tarfile - python module for accessing TAR archives
Lars Gustäbel <lars@gustaebel.de>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Description
-----------
The tarfile module provides a set of functions for accessing TAR
format archives. Because it is written in pure Python, it does
not require any platform specific functions. GZIP compressed TAR
archives are seamlessly supported.
Requirements
------------
tarfile needs at least Python version 2.2.
(For a tarfile for Python 1.5.2 take a look on the webpage.)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMPORTANT NOTE (*NIX only)
--------------------------
The addition of character and block devices is enabled by a C
extension module (_tarfile.c), because Python does not yet
provide the major() and minor() macros.
Currently Linux and FreeBSD are implemented. If your OS is not
supported, then please send me a patch.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Download
--------
You can download the newest version at URL:
http://www.gustaebel.de/lars/tarfile/
Installation
------------
1. extract the tarfile-x.x.x.tar.gz archive to a temporary folder
2. type "python setup.py install"
