To install, just run:
sudo python setup.py install
Installation of Wicd should be done using your distribution package if one
exists. If not, the installation is relatively straightforward.
For now almost all the files and directories are dumped to /opt/wicd, though
it's possible for the user to specify a different directory by editing two files;
setup.cfg, and wpath.py. Simply change all mentions of /opt/wicd in those files
to the directory of your choice.
If you are installing from a subversion pull or beta/rc tarball and you want
the native language translations, first run this:
python setup.py get_translations
You will not need to do this if you're installing from a release tarball.
It should also be noted that wicd also installs some files elsewhere, namely
init.d and suspend.d scripts, dbus configuration files, and pixmaps. Exactly
what gets put where can be viewed by opening up and reading setup.py.
Next, configure Wicd for installation. Wicd will, by default, follow the
FHS guidelines <http://www.pathname.com/fhs/> (or distribution standards
where applicable if we know about them and it's feasible to implement them).
You can specify exactly where every non-Python file (and some Python files)
in Wicd will be placed. Pass "--help" as an option to the following command
for more information, otherwise run it as is to configure Wicd for installation.
python setup.py configure
Finally, do the actual installation. This step will need to be done as
root or with sudo in most cases:
python setup.py install
If you are packaging Wicd, you will almost surely want to use the "--root"
option; for example:
python setup.py install --root=/package-dir
To uninstall, you can use (using root or sudo):
python setup.py uninstall
You *MUST* run "python setup.py configure" before "python setup.py install" -
the "configure" step generates wpath.py from wpath.py.in using the paths
specified from the arguments to "python setup.py configure".
As noted above in the configure step, "python setup.py configure" will use
acceptable defaults, so it is usually not necessary to specify any arguments
at all.
After installation, especially if Wicd has not been installed before, you
will probably need to restart the system message bus (dbus) or reload its
configuration. You will also need to make sure the Wicd init script is
started at boot. How to do those things is distribution-dependent, so if
you're not sure, ask in your distribution's support area(s).
In the (near) future, all the files will not all be put in one directory, and will
instead follow linux standards for directory structure.
