Getting Started

Downloading

If it isnt in your distros repositories (It is in Archs AUR! Both tagged release and git master.), you can still easily get rolling. Simply visit the projects source code web interface and download a tarball under the Download column:

cgit

If you know the tag of the commit you want, you can use curl:

or wget:

You can use https://git.square-r00t.net/BDisk/snapshot/BDisk-master.tar.xz for the URL if you want the latest working version. If you want a snapshot of a specific commit, you can use e.g. https://git.square-r00t.net/BDisk/snapshot/BDisk-5ac510762ce00eef213957825de0e6d07186e7f8.tar.xz and so on.
