If you want to install Husky in a jail or generally in a computer without installed git, please do the following.

The installation will be done in two steps. At the first step you need a computer with access to Internet and with installed git. Here you obtain the full sources including cvsdate.h files. After that you copy that to the computer where the installation should be done (or to the jail) and build and install Husky there.

Step 1. Create a new directory, for example 'husky_build'. Copy 'init_build' to the directory. Change to the directory and run

./init_build -d husky_build

Modify the created huskymak.cfg to your liking. If you do not want to use Perl, delete 'util' from the PROGRAMS list and set PERL=0. Now run

gmake update

Step 2. After that copy the whole husky_build directory to the jail. Be sure to install all the necessary programs in the jail. Which programs to install depends on the settings you use in huskymak.cfg. See huskybse/INSTALL.asciidoc. Change to the husky_build directory inside the jail and run

./build.sh --offline

After Husky is built, you may install it.
