Public Git Repositories

Git repositories of nilfs-related packages are available at GitHub.

Getting Source Code Using Git

You can get the source code of NILFS utilities with "git clone" command:

 $ git clone https://github.com/nilfs-dev/nilfs-utils.git

Some standalone kernel modules of NILFS2 are also obtainable in the same manner. For instance, the latest source code of kernel module for RHEL 9 clones and CentOS Stream 9 can be downloaded as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/nilfs-dev/nilfs2-kmod9.git

These repositories can be updated with "git pull" command. Please see https://git-scm.com/ for further information.

Preparations To Build nilfs-utils

Since nilfs-utils repository doesn't include any intermediate files, you need to run autogen.sh first.

 $ cd nilfs-utils
 $ ./autogen.sh

This may require libtool, autoconf (-2.6 or later), and automake packages.

Then, you will be able to build & install utilities in the usual manner:

 $ ./configure
 $ make
 $ sudo make install

You may need or want to tweak build options. For example, if you want to change the library installation location according to the system library directory, specify the "--libdir" option to the configure script as shown below:

 $ ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64

For details on build options, please see the README file contained in nilfs-utils.

Good luck!
