+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
+might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
+<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ccollect backups (local or remote) data to local or remote destinations.
+
+You can retrieve the latest version of ccollect at [0].
+
+ccollect was inspired by rsnapshot [1], which has some problems:
+   - configuration parameters has to be TAB seperated
+   - you can not specify per source exclude lists
+   - no per source pre/post execution support
+   - no parallel execution
+   - does unecessary moving of backup directories
+   - I didn't like the configuration at all, so I used the cconfig style [2].
+
+Please use tools/report_success.sh to report success, if you are successfully
+using ccollect.
+
+Have a look at doc/HACKING, if you plan to change ccollect.
+
+A small try to visualize the differences in a table:

+Hello Nico,
+
+     I have attached three more patches for ccollect.  Each patch
+has comments explaining its motivation.
+
+     All of these patches work-for-me (but I continue to test
+them).  I would be interested in your opinion on, for example, the
+general approach used in i.patch which changes the way options are
+handled.  I think it is a big improvement.  If, however, you wanted
+the code to go in a different direction, let me know before we
+diverge too far.
+
+Regards,
+
+John

+Dear Nico Schottelius,
+
+   I have started using ccollect and I very much like its design:
+it is elegant and effective.
+
+   In the process of getting ccollect setup and running, I made
+five changes, including one major new feature, that I hope you will
+find useful.
+
+   First, I added the following before any old backup gets deleted:
+
+>    # Verify source is up and accepting connections before deleting any old backups
+>    rsync "$source" >/dev/null || _exit_err "Source ${source} is not readable. Skipping."
+
+I think that this quick test is a much better than, say, pinging
+the source in a pre-exec script: this tests not only that the
+source is up and connected to the net, it also verifies (1) that
+ssh is up and accepting our key (if we are using ssh), and (2) that
+the source directory is mounted (if it needs to be mounted) and
+readable.
+
+   Second, I found ccollect's use of ctime problematic.  After
+copying an old backup over to my ccollect destination, I adjusted
+mtime and atime where needed using touch, e.g.:
+
+touch -d"28 Apr 2009 3:00" destination/daily.01
+
+However, as far as I know, there is no way to correct a bad ctime.
+I ran into this issue repeatedly while adjusting my backup
+configuration.  (For example, "cp -a" preserves mtime but not
+ctime.  Even worse, "cp -al old new" also changes ctime on old.)
+
+   Another potential problem with ctime is that it is file-system
+dependent: I have read that Windows sets ctime to create-time not
+last change-time.
+
+   However, It is simple to give a new backup the correct mtime.
+After the rsync step, I added the command:
+
+553a616,617
+>    # Correct the modification time:
+>    pcmd touch "${destination_dir}"
+
+Even if ccollect continues to use ctime for sorting, I see no
+reason not to have the backup directory have the correct mtime.
+
+   To allow the rest of the code to use either ctime or mtime, I
+added definitions:
+
+44a45,47
+> #TSORT="tc" ; NEWER="cnewer"
+> TSORT="t" ; NEWER="newer"
+
+(It would be better if this choice was user-configurable because
+those with existing backup directories should continue to use ctime
+until the mtimes of their directories are correct.  The correction
+would happen passively over time as new backups created using the
+above touch command and the old ones are deleted.)
+
+With these definitions, the proper link-dest directory can then be
+found using this minor change (and comment update):
+
+516,519c579,582
+<    # Use ls -1c instead of -1t, because last modification maybe the same on all
+<    # and metadate update (-c) is updated by rsync locally.
+<    #
+<    last_dir="$(pcmd ls -tcp1 "${ddir}" | grep '/$' | head -n 1)" || \
+---
+>    # Depending on your file system, you may want to sort on: 
+>    #   1. mtime (modification time) with TSORT=t, or
+>    #   2. ctime (last change time, usually) with TSORT=tc
+>    last_dir="$(pcmd ls -${TSORT}p1 "${ddir}" | grep '/$' | head -n 1)" || \
+
+   Thirdly, after I copied my old backups over to my ccollect
+destination directory, I found that ccollect would delete a
+recent backup not an old backup!  My problem was that, unknown to
+me, the algorithm to find the oldest backup (for deletion) was
+inconsistent with that used to find the newest (for link-dest).  I
+suggest that these two should be consistent.  Because time-sorting
+seemed more consistent with the ccollect documentation, I suggest:
+
+492,493c555,556
+<       pcmd ls -p1 "$ddir" | grep "^${INTERVAL}\..*/\$" | \
+<         sort -n | head -n "${remove}" > "${TMP}"      || \
+---
+>       pcmd ls -${TSORT}p1r "$ddir" | grep "^${INTERVAL}\..*/\$" | \
+>         head -n "${remove}" > "${TMP}"      || \
+
+   Fourthly, in my experience, rsync error code 12 means complete
+failure, usually because the source refuses the ssh connection.
+So, I left the marker in that case:
+
+558,559c622,625
+<    pcmd rm "${destination_dir}.${c_marker}" || \
+<       _exit_err "Removing ${destination_dir}/${c_marker} failed."
+---
+>    if [ "$ret" -ne 12 ] ; then
+>       pcmd rm "${destination_dir}.${c_marker}" || \
+>          _exit_err "Removing ${destination_dir}/${c_marker} failed."
+>    fi
+
+(A better solution might allow a user-configurable list of error
+codes that are treated the same as a fail.)
+
+   Fifth, because I was frustrated by the problems of having a
+cron-job decide which interval to backup, I added a major new
+feature: the modified ccollect can now automatically select an
+interval to use for backup.
+
+   Cron-job controlled backup works well if all machines are up and
+running all the time and nothing ever goes wrong.  I have, however,
+some machines that are occasionally turned off, or that are mobile
+and only sometimes connected to local net.  For these machines, the
+use of cron-jobs to select intervals can be a disaster.
+
+   There are several ways one could automatically choose an
+appropriate interval. The method I show below has the advantage
+that it works with existing ccollect configuration files.  The only
+requirement is that interval names be chosen to sort nicely (under
+ls).  For example, I currently use:
+
+$ ls -1 intervals
+a_daily
+b_weekly
+c_monthly
+d_quarterly
+e_yearly
+$ cat intervals/*
+6
+3
+2
+3
+30
+
+A simpler example would be:
+
+$ ls -1 intervals
+int1
+int2
+int3
+$ cat intervals/*
+2
+3
+4
+
+The algorithm works as follows:
+
+   If no backup exists for the least frequent interval (int3 in the
+   simpler example), then use that interval. Otherwise, use the
+   most frequent interval (int1) unless there are "$(cat
+   intervals/int1)" int1 backups more recent than any int2 or int3
+   backup, in which case select int2 unless there are "$(cat
+   intervals/int2)" int2 backups more recent than any int3 backups
+   in which case choose int3.
+
+This algorithm works well cycling through all the backups for my
+always connected machines as well as for my usually connected
+machines, and rarely connected machines.  (For a rarely connected
+machine, interval names like "b_weekly" lose their English meaning
+but it still does a reasonable job of rotating through the
+intervals.)
+
+   In addition to being more robust, the automatic interval
+selection means that crontab is greatly simplified: only one line
+is needed.  I use:
+
+30 3 * * * ccollect.sh AUTO host1 host2 host3 | tee -a /var/log/ccollect-full.log | ccollect_analyse_logs.sh iwe
+
+   Some users might prefer a calendar-driven algorithm such as: do
+a yearly backup the first time a machine is connected during a new
+year; do a monthly backup the first that a machine is connected
+during a month; etc. This, however, would require a change to the
+ccollect configuration files.  So, I didn't pursue the idea any
+further.
+
+   The code checks to see if the user specified the interval as
+AUTO.  If so, the auto_interval function is called to select the
+interval:
+
+347a417,420
+>    if [ ${INTERVAL} = "AUTO" ] ; then
+>       auto_interval
+>       _techo "Selected interval: '$INTERVAL'"
+>    fi
+
+The code for auto_interval is as follows (note that it allows 'more
+recent' to be defined by either ctime or mtime as per the TSORT
+variable):
+
+125a129,182
+> # Select interval if AUTO
+> #
+> # For this to work nicely, you have to choose interval names that sort nicely
+> # such as int1, int2, int3 or a_daily, b_weekly, c_monthly, etc.
+> #
+> auto_interval()
+> {
+>    if [ -d "${backup}/intervals" -a -n "$(ls "${backup}/intervals" 2>/dev/null)" ] ; then
+>       intervals_dir="${backup}/intervals"
+>    elif [ -d "${CDEFAULTS}/intervals" -a -n "$(ls "${CDEFAULTS}/intervals" 2>/dev/null)" ] ; then
+>       intervals_dir="${CDEFAULTS}/intervals"
+>    else
+>       _exit_err "No intervals are defined.  Skipping."
+>    fi
+>    echo intervals_dir=${intervals_dir}
+> 
+>    trial_interval="$(ls -1r "${intervals_dir}/" | head -n 1)" || \
+>       _exit_err "Failed to list contents of ${intervals_dir}/."
+>    _techo "Considering interval ${trial_interval}"
+>    most_recent="$(pcmd ls -${TSORT}p1 "${ddir}" | grep "^${trial_interval}.*/$" | head -n 1)" || \
+>       _exit_err "Failed to list contents of ${ddir}/."
+>    _techo "   Most recent ${trial_interval}: '${most_recent}'"
+>    if [ -n "${most_recent}" ]; then
+>        no_intervals="$(ls -1 "${intervals_dir}/" | wc -l)"
+>        n=1
+>        while [ "${n}" -le "${no_intervals}" ]; do
+>           trial_interval="$(ls -p1 "${intervals_dir}/" | tail -n+${n} | head -n 1)"
+>           _techo "Considering interval '${trial_interval}'"
+>           c_interval="$(cat "${intervals_dir}/${trial_interval}" 2>/dev/null)"
+>           m=$((${n}+1))
+>           set --  "${ddir}" -maxdepth 1
+>           while [ "${m}" -le "${no_intervals}" ]; do
+>              interval_m="$(ls -1 "${intervals_dir}/" | tail -n+${m} | head -n 1)"
+>              most_recent="$(pcmd ls -${TSORT}p1 "${ddir}" | grep "^${interval_m}\..*/$" | head -n 1)"
+>              _techo "   Most recent ${interval_m}: '${most_recent}'"
+>              if [ -n "${most_recent}" ] ; then
+>                 set -- "$@" -$NEWER "${ddir}/${most_recent}"
+>              fi
+>              m=$((${m}+1))
+>           done
+>           count=$(pcmd find "$@" -iname "${trial_interval}*" | wc -l)
+>           _techo "   Found $count more recent backups of ${trial_interval} (limit: ${c_interval})"
+>           if [ "$count" -lt "${c_interval}" ] ; then
+>              break
+>           fi
+>           n=$((${n}+1))
+>        done
+>    fi
+>    export INTERVAL="${trial_interval}"
+>    D_FILE_INTERVAL="${intervals_dir}/${INTERVAL}"
+>    D_INTERVAL=$(cat "${D_FILE_INTERVAL}" 2>/dev/null)
+> }
+> 
+> #
+
+While I consider the auto_interval code to be developmental, I have
+been using it for my nightly backups and it works for me.
+
+   One last change: For auto_interval to work, it needs "ddir" to
+be defined first.  Consequently, I had to move the following code
+so it gets run before auto_interval is called:
+
+369,380c442,443
+< 
+<    #
+<    # Destination is a path
+<    #
+<    if [ ! -f "${c_dest}" ]; then
+<       _exit_err "Destination ${c_dest} is not a file. Skipping."
+<    else
+<       ddir=$(cat "${c_dest}"); ret="$?"
+<       if [ "${ret}" -ne 0 ]; then
+<          _exit_err "Destination ${c_dest} is not readable. Skipping."
+<       fi
+<    fi
+345a403,414
+>    # Destination is a path
+>    #
+>    if [ ! -f "${c_dest}" ]; then
+>       _exit_err "Destination ${c_dest} is not a file. Skipping."
+>    else

+>       if [ "${ret}" -ne 0 ]; then
+>          _exit_err "Destination ${c_dest} is not readable. Skipping."
+>       fi
+>    fi
+> 
+>    #
+
+   I have some other ideas but this is all I have implemented at
+the moment.  Files are attached.
+
+   Thanks again for developing ccollect and let me know what you
+think.

+Hello Hacker,
+
+I really appreciate your interest in hacking this software, but
+I am kind of critical when seeing patches. Thus I created this
+file to give you some hints of my thinking quirks.
+
+
+Submitting patches
+------------------
+Make my life easier, make your life easier, use a version control system (vcs).
+For this software the preferred vcs is git. Clone the latest repo, create
+a new local branch (git checkout -b <branchname>) write down your ideas.
+
+When you're done, push all your stuff out to some public repo and drop a
+mail to the mailinglist, what you did and where to get it.
+
+
+Introduce a feature or change behaviour
+---------------------------------------
+Uhh, fancy! You have had a great idea, then it's time to change
+the major version, so others know that something changed.
+
+If the configuration format is changed, add a script to tools/
+to allow users upgrade their configuration to this major version.
+
+And now comes the most difficult part: Add documentation. Nobody
+benefits from your cool feature, if it is not known. I know, writing
+documentation is not so much fun, but you also expect good documentation
+for this software, don't you?
+
+
+If you think my thinking quirks must be corrected
+-------------------------------------------------
+See above ("Submitting patches") and submit a patch to this file.
+
+
+Thanks for reading.

+ccollect - Restoring backups
+============================
+Nico Schottelius <nico-ccollect__@__schottelius.org>
+0.1, for all ccollect version, Initial Version from 2008-07-04
+:Author Initials: NS
+
+
+Having backups is half the way to success on a failure.
+Knowing how to restore the systems is the other half.
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+You made your backup and now you want to restore your
+data. If you backuped only parts of a computer and need
+only to restore them, it is pretty easy to achieve.
+Restoring a whole system is a little bit more
+difficult and needs some knowledge of the operating system.
+
+
+Restoring parts of a system
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Log into your backupserver. Change into the 
+backup directory you want to restore from.
+Do `rsync -av './files/to/be/recovered/' 'sourcehost:/files/to/be/recovered/'.
+
+Restoring a complete system (general)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Boot the system to be rescued from a media that contains low level tools
+for your OS (like partitioning, formatting) and the necessary tools
+(ssh, tar or rsync).
+Use 
+- create the necessary partition table (or however it is called
+
+Get a live-cd, that ships with
+- rsync / tar
+- ssh (d) -> from backupserver
+- support for the filesystems
+
+Restoring a complete FreeBSD system
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Get a FreeBSD-live-cd (I used the FreeBSD 7.0 live CD,
+but FreeSBIE (http://www.freesbie.org/),
+Frenzy (http://frenzy.org.ua/en/) or the
+FreeBSD LiveCD (http://livecd.sourceforge.net/)
+may also be helpful. The following way uses the FreeBSD 7.0
+live cd.
+
+So boot it up, select your language. After that select
+*Custom* then *Partition*. Create the slice like you want
+to have it. Then let the installer write into the MBR,
+select *BootMgr*.
+
+After that create the necessary labels, select *Label* and
+make sure "Newfs" flag is set to "Y".
+
+Finally, select *Commit* and choose an installation type
+that must fail, because we want the installer only to write
+the partitions and labels, but not to install anything on it.
+
+At this point we have created the base for restoring the whole
+system. Move back to the main menu and select *Fixit*, then
+*CDROM/DVD*. This starts a shell on TTY4, which can be reached
+by pressing *ALT+F4*. Then enter the following data:
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   rootdir=/ccollect
+   rootdev=/dev/ad0s1a
+   backupserver=192.42.23.5
+
+   # create destination directory
+   mkdir "$rootdir"
+
+   # mount root; add other mounts if you created more labels
+   mount "$rootdev" "$rootdir"
+
+   # find out which network devices exist
+   ifconfig
+
+   # create the directory, because dhclient needs it
+   mkdir /var/db
+
+   # retrieve an ip address
+   dhclient fxp0
+
+   # test connection
+   ssh "$backupserver"
+
+   # go back
+   backupserver% exit
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Now we've prepared everything for the real backup. The next problem maybe,
+that we cannot (should not) be able to login as root to the backup server.
+Additionally the system to be restored may not reachable from the backup server,
+because it is behind a firewall or nat.
+Thus I describe a way, that is a little bit more complicated for those, that
+do not have these limitations, but works in both scenarios.
+
+I just start netcat on the local machine, pipe its output to tar and put
+both into the background. Then I create a ssh tunnel to the backupserver,
+which is then able to connect to my netcat "directly".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   # user to connect to the backupserver
+   myuser=nico
+
+   # our name in the backup
+   restorehost=server1
+
+   # the instance to be used
+   backup="weekly.20080718-2327.23053"
+
+   # Need to setup lo0 first, the livecd did not do it for me
+   ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 up
+
+   # change to the destination directory
+   cd "$rootdir"
+   
+   # start listener
+   ( nc -l 127.0.0.1 4242 | tar xvf - ) &
+
+   # verify that it runs correctly
+   sockstat -4l
+
+   # connect as a normal user to the backupserver
+   ssh -R4242:127.0.0.1:4242 "$myuser@$backupserver"
+
+   # become root
+   backupserver% su -
+
+   # change to the source directory
+   backupserver# cd /home/server/backup/$restorehost/$backup
+
+   # begin the backup
+   backup # tar cf - . | nc 127.0.0.1 4242
+
+   # wait until it finishes, press ctrl-c to kill netcat
+   # logoff the backupserver
+   backupserver# exit
+   backupserver% exit
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Now we are just right next to be finished. Still, we have to take care about
+some things:
+
+- Do the block devices still have the same names? If not, correct /etc/fstab.
+- Do the network devices still have the same names? If not, correct /etc/rc.conf.
+
+If everything is fixed, let us finish the restore:
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   # cleanly umount it
+   umount "$rootdir"
+   
+   # reboot, remove the cd and bootup the restored system
+   reboot
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Restoring a complete Linux system
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Knoppix
+   knoppix 2 at boot prompt
+
+   rootdir=/ccollect
+   dev=/dev/hda
+   rootdev="${dev}1"
+   fs=jfs
+   tar
+
+   # create the needed partitions
+   cfdisk $dev
+
+   mkfs.$fs $rootdev
+
+   mkdir $rootdir
+
+   mount $rootdev $rootdir
+
+   cd $rootdir
+
+   pump
+   ifconfig
+
+   # start listener (from now on it is the same as 
+   ( nc -l 127.0.0.1 4242 | tar xvf - ) &
+
+
+
+TO BE DONE

+NAME
+----
+ccollect_add_source - create new source for ccollect(1)
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+'ccollect_add_source.sh' <hostnames to create sources for>
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+ccollect_add_source.sh creates a new backup source for use with ccollect(1).
+It copies the files from to the source directory with the hostname below
+'$CCOLLECT_CONF/sources'. It is designed to run on a backup server to create
+new directories for new hosts.
+
+
+FILES
+-----
+$CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults/sources::
+   Main configuration directory. $CCOLLECT_CONF is '/etc/ccollect', if unset.
+   All the following files reside below this directory.
+
+exclude::
+summary::
+intervals::
+pre_exec::
+post_exec::
+rsync_options::
+verbose::
+very_verbose::
+   Those are the standard configuration files known by ccollect(1).
+   If the file exist it will be copied to the newly created source.
+   Directories ('intervals') are copied recursively.
+
+destination_base::
+   A link to the directory where to store the backups. Below this directory
+   `ccollect_add_source.sh` will create a directory with the hostname you
+   specified on the command line. A common valua for `destination_base` is
+   '/home/server/backup'.
+
+source_prefix::
+source_postfix::
+   `source_prefix` is put before the hostname, `source_postfix` is appended
+   after it. A common value for `source_prefix` maybe 'root@' and ':/'
+   for `source_postfix`.
