metastore
=========
metastore is a tool to store the metadata of files/directories/links in
a file tree to a separate file and to later compare and apply the stored
metadata to said file tree.
It was written as a supplement to git which does not store all metadata,
making it unsuitable for e.g. storing /etc in a repository.
metastore can also be helpful if you want to create a tarball of a file
tree and make sure that "everything" (e.g. xattrs, mtime, owner, group)
is stored along with the files.
Stored metadata
---------------
metastore stores following metadata in its files:
- owner,
- group,
- permissions,
- xattrs,
- mtime - optionally.
Usage
-----
See man1/metastore.1 file, which is the manual page.
File format
-----------
See FILEFORMAT file, which describes internals of metastore file.
Requirements
------------
- Linux
- GNU make
- C99 compiler, like gcc or clang
- libbsd
Building
--------
Simply run `make` from project's root directory.
Building out-of-tree is supported out-of-the-box. Go to your chosen
build directory and run there:
$ make -f path/to/metastore/Makefile
Installation
------------
Run `make install`. Default settings for installation are:
PREFIX = /usr/local
EXECPREFIX = ${PREFIX} (/usr/local)
BINDIR = ${EXECPREFIX}/bin (/usr/local/bin)
DATAROOTDIR = ${PREFIX}/share (/usr/local/share)
MANDIR = ${DATAROOTDIR}/man (/usr/local/share/man)
You can always change them, e.g.:
$ make install PREFIX=/usr
DESTDIR is also supported.
