# NOTES

This is an early stage.

You can check the [manpage](cidr.1.md).

More documentation has to come. For now you have to read the code. Sorry guys!

## install exscript

You can check my

[Launchpad page](https://launchpad.net/~renard0/+archive/ubuntu/utils/) to

get `exscript` debian package. Please note that this package has been

generated for `trusty` and might also work on other distos. Let me know if

this works for you.

Basicaly you have to put in your `/etc/apt/sources.list`:

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/renard0/utils/ubuntu trusty main 

and run as `root`:

	apt-get update

	apt-get install exscript

    ./cidr -v --config cidr.yml backup-config -t 64

# Known issues

* `RequirementParseError: Invalid requirement, parse error at "''"`

In some environment you may experience errors like:

```

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Exscript/workqueue/job.py", line 78, in run

    self.function(self)

    raise e

RequirementParseError: Invalid requirement, parse error at "''"

```

This happens randomly without any particular reason. This seems to be

related to a `paramiko`, `pyca`, `packaging` or `setuptools` bug in

multi-threading mode. See:

* https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/931

* https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/3495

* https://github.com/pypa/packaging/issues/104

The best way is to reduce the number of threads.
