** [tickets:#16] do post-installation proecudres as part of 'make install'**
**Status:** unread
**Created:** Sun Jun 07, 2015 07:59 PM UTC by Richard Hansen

The `README` currently has a section dedicated to post-installation procedures
that boils down to this:
for d in \
"${sysconfdir}"/rpstir \
"${localstatedir}"/cache/rpstir \
"${localstatedir}"/log/rpstir \
"${localstatedir}"/lib/rpstir \
;
do
mkdir -p "${d}"
chmod -R o-rwx "${d}"
done
[ -f "${sysconfdir}"/rpstir/rpstir.conf ] \
|| cp "${docdir}"/examples/rpstir.conf "${sysconfdir}"/rpstir
# edit "${sysconfdir}"/rpstir/rpstir.conf as desired
rpstir-initialize -f
