ddar

====

ddar is a free de-duplicating archiver for Unix. Save space, bandwidth and time by storing duplicate regions of data only once.

For details, see [the wiki][1].

Installation

------------

Some [pre-built packages][1] are available.

Building from Source

--------------------

For Debian/Ubuntu packages, just install build dependencies (see

`debian/control`) and then run `debuild` as usual.

Other distributions: install [protobuf][2], run `make pydist` and then `python

setup.py install`.

Contributing

------------

Please submit contributions as pull requests on [github][3], following these

guidelines:

 * Maintain compatibility with Python 2.5.

 * Keep behaviour similar to `ar(1)` and `tar(1)` (principle of least surprise).

   Options, behaviour and formats that make sense to match should match as

   closely as possible.

 * The manpage should be the source of all knowledge. All options and behaviour

   should be documented there.
