Upgrade
=======
The version 0.34 introduced a timestamp feature. It is necessary to update
the underlying table structure if you upgrade from an earlier version:

		psql kaspaliste -f kaspaliste/data/update.sql


Installation
============

The program needs postgresql as server.
It has been tested with KDE 2.1 an postgresql 7.0.3.

Compilation and installation of postgresql
------------------------------------------
Most distributions include postgres rpms. Sometimes the postgresql 
database system is splitted into several packages. Make sure that you have
at least the server and the headers installed. The package with the
headers may be located in the devel-branch of the distribution.
The pgsql-packages of the SuSE distribution are broken and don't compile.

It may be easier to compile postgresql on your own:
Get the postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz package, unpack it and change to the 
base directory. Type:

    cd ./src
    ./configure
    make all

Postgresql now lives in /usr/local/pgsql
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for example in /etc/profile)...

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/lib
    export $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

...or add the line "/usr/local/pgsql/lib" to 
the /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig (depends on
your system, sometimes both methods are working).

You may want to add /usr/local/pgsql/bin to 
your PATH environment variable.

Compilation and installation of kaspaliste
------------------------------------------
In order to compile and install Kaspaliste on your 
system, type the following in the base directory of
the Kaspaliste distribution:

    ./configure
    make
    make install

Since Kaspaliste uses autoconf you should have not 
trouble compiling it.

Kaspaliste needs postgresql as server. You have to initialize the postgresql
manager if you don't have already an existing postgresql installation.
Parameters are the directory of the postgres 
installation (e.g. /usr/lib/pgsql/lib or /usr/local/pgsql/lib), the directory 
where the database should live (e.g. /home/xyz/pgdata).
You can omit the parameters if the $PGLIB and $PGDATA environment 
variables are set.

    initdb --pglib=<MY_PGSQL_LIBDIR> --pgdata=<MY_PGSQL_DATADIR>

Start the postmaster (Read the postmaster manpage for a more 
sophisticated command line):

    postmaster -D<MY_PGSQL_DATADIR>

First you have to create a database named kaspaliste:

    createdb kaspaliste 

Read the file kaspaliste/data/create.tables.sql from the 
kaspaliste directory with the command:

    psql kaspaliste -f create.tables.sql

Now you are ready to start the frontend.

Upgrading to a new postgres version
===================================
When upgrading to a new postgres version a dump/reload of the 
database might be necessary. The 'pg_dump' utility of the postgres 
distribution does not dump large objects. There are two little programs 
named 'loadlo' and 'unloadlo'. They read/write all large objects 
from/in a directory. The directory has to be accessible by the server.
To make them work correctly it is important to preserve
the oids while dumping with the '-o' option of pg_dump. 'loadlo' 
has to be run after loading the dumped script with psql by the 
postgres superuser.:

dump old database...

	md /tmp/dump
	pg_dump kaspaliste -ov > /tmp/dump/dump.sql
	unloadlo -o /tmp/dump

...upgrade database and reload...

	psql kaspaliste -f /tmp/dump/dump.sql
	loadlo -i /tmp/dump


Basic Installation
==================

   These are generic installation instructions.

   The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
(useful mainly for debugging `configure').

   If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
be considered for the next release.  If at some point `config.cache'
contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.

   The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
called `autoconf'.  You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.

The simplest way to compile this package is:

  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
     `./configure' to configure the package for your system.  If you're
     using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
     `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
     `configure' itself.

     Running `configure' takes a while.  While running, it prints some
     messages telling which features it is checking for.

  2. Type `make' to compile the package.

  3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
     documentation.

  4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
     source code directory by typing `make clean'.  

Compilers and Options
=====================

   Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
the `configure' script does not know about.  You can give `configure'
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment.  Using
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
this:
     CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure

Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
     env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure

Compiling For Multiple Architectures
====================================

   You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
own directory.  To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'.  `cd' to the
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
the `configure' script.  `configure' automatically checks for the
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.

   If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
in the source code directory.  After you have installed the package for
one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
architecture.

Installation Names
==================

   By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc.  You can specify an
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
option `--prefix=PATH'.

   You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.

   If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.

Optional Features
=================

   Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System).  The
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
package recognizes.

   For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.

Specifying the System Type
==========================

   There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
will run on.  Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
`--host=TYPE' option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
     CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM

See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field.  If
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
need to know the host type.

   If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
system on which you are compiling the package.

Sharing Defaults
================

   If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists.  Or, you can set the
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.

Operation Controls
==================

   `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
operates.

`--cache-file=FILE'
     Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
     `./config.cache'.  Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
     debugging `configure'.

`--help'
     Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.

`--quiet'
`--silent'
`-q'
     Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.

`--srcdir=DIR'
     Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.  Usually
     `configure' can determine that directory automatically.

`--version'
     Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
     script, and exit.

`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
