HOWTO package OCS Unix agent releases

To package the OCS Unix server release, we will use git to get code from GitHub.

Get OcsInventory Unix agent code

Now, get the Ocsinventory Unix agent code from Launchpad using this command :

$ git clone https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/UnixAgent
$ cd UnixAgent

Create the tarball file

Create the release tarball using this commands:

$ rm MANIFEST
$ perl Makefile.PL

Warning: If you are under Linux, you have to delete the ipdiscover binary before launching the next commands. Delete the ipdiscover binary using this command: rm ipdiscover.**

$ make manifest
$ make dist

The last command creates automatically the release tarball file named Ocsinventory-Unix-Agent-XXX.tar.gz in the current directory.
