# REPO README - Notes for people checking out of GitLab (git)
## Getting duplicity to run:
By the numbers:
1. Do the checkout to a location called $DUP_ROOT:
- `git clone git@gitlab.com:duplicity/duplicity.git $DUP_ROOT` or
- `git clone https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity.git $DUP_ROOT`
2. Build the extension module
- `cd $DUP_ROOT`
- `setup.py build_ext`
3. Run `PYTHONPATH=$DUP_ROOT bin/duplicity -V`.
- You will see "duplicity $version" instead of the normal version number.
- Versioning comes during the release.
Use PYTHONPATH to set the path each time that you use the binaries:
`PYTHONPATH=$DUP_ROOT bin/duplicity`
## Getting a versioned copy of duplicity
Duplicity source is versioned by **git tags** and **setuptools-scm** with help from `./setup.py sdist --dist-dir=.`.
The following should suffice to give you versioned source.
So, for version 0.8.21:
```
git clone --branch rel.0.8.21 git@gitlab.com:duplicity/duplicity.git
```
will produce a working git directory **duplicity** in the current directory.
```
cd duplicity
./setup.py sdist --dist-dir=.
tar xf duplicity-0.8.21.tar.gz
```
will produce a versioned source in **duplicity-0.8.21**
Then just run
```
cd duplicity-8.8,21
./setup.py build
```
or
```
cd duplicity-0.8.21
./setup.py install
```
as needed.
