The server supports Linux and can be made to work on a Mac (see README.mac).
The clients work on both Linux and the Mac. It could probably be ported to
"Tested" means I've built against that version; earlier or later versions will
often work too.
-Runtime dependencies:
- * Web server:
- + Apache 1.3.x works for me, but anything that supports CGI and
- authentication should be suitable.
- * Separate player programs are no longer required (but may still be used)
-
-Development dependencies (only developers will need these):
- Automake 1.10 AM_PATH_PYTHON not good enough in 1.7
- Autoconf 2.61
- Libtool 1.5.22 1.4 not good enough
- Bazaar (bzr)
-
-On Debian you might ensure you have the required packages as follows:
- apt-get install gcc libc-dev automake autoconf libtool libgtk2.0-dev \
- libgc-dev libgcrypt-dev libpcre3-dev libvorbis-dev \
- libao-dev libmad0-dev libasound2-dev libdb4.3-dev \
- libflac-dev
+For the web interface to work you will additionally need a web server. I've
+had both Apache 1.3.x and 2.x working. Anything that supports CGI should be
+OK.

Installation
============
"This place'd be a paradise tomorrow, if every department had a supervisor
with a machine-gun"
-NOTE: If you are upgrading from an earlier version, see README.upgrades.
+IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from an earlier version, see README.upgrades.
-On a Debian system, if you install from .deb files then you should be able to
-skip steps 1 to 6 and configure it via debconf. This is strongly recommended!

1. Build the software. Do something like this:
disorder authorize USERNAME
This will automatically choose a random password and create
- /etc/disorder/config.USERNAME.
+ ~USERNAME/.disorder/passwd.
Those users should now be able to access the server from the same host as it
runs on, either via the disorder command or Disobedience. To run
smtp_server mail.example.com
+ Use 'disorder reconfigure' to make sure the server knows these settings.
+
2. The web interface depends on a 'guest' user existing. You can create this
with the following command:
4. Install disorder.cgi in an appropriate location. Remember to make it
executable. Example:
- install -m 755 clients/disorder.cgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/disorder
+ install -m 755 server/disorder.cgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/disorder
5. Try it out. You should be able to perform read-only operations straight
away, and after visiting the 'Login' page to authenticate, perform other
