- `*.sign` files are minisign (OpenBSD `signify(1)` compatible) signatures, they key used for it can be found at <https://hacktivis.me/releases/signify/> as well as other places (feel free to ping me to get it)
## Manual Installation
-Dependencies are:
-
+### Dependencies
- POSIX-compatible Shell (ie. mrsh, dash, lksh)
+- POSIX-compatible make(1) (ie. {Free,Net,Open}BSD make, GNU make)
+- A pkg-config implementation (pkgconf is recommended)
- C11 Compiler (such as clang or gcc)
- [WebKitGTK](https://webkitgtk.org/), only the latest stable(2.32.0+) is supported
- [libxml-2.0](http://www.xmlsoft.org/), no known version limitation
-- POSIX make with extension for shell in variables (works with GNU, {Net,Free,Open}BSD)
-- A pkg-config implementation (pkgconf is recommended)
- (optional) gettext implementation (such as GNU Gettext)
-- (optional, test) [mandoc](https://mdocml.bsd.lv/) (the command) for linting the manpage
-- (optional, test) [shellcheck](https://www.shellcheck.net/) for linting the `./configure` script
+- (optional, lint) [mandoc](https://mdocml.bsd.lv/) (the command) for linting the manpage
+- (optional, lint) [shellcheck](https://www.shellcheck.net/) for linting the `./configure` script

+### Compiling
+```
+./configure && make
+```
+
+Note: `configure` is a simple shell script (so not autotools) which supports variables like `PREFIX`.
+
+### Installing
+```
+make install
+# DESTDIR is supported
+```
+
+Debian users will probably want to use `checkinstall` instead.
-Compilation is done with `./configure && make`, install with `make install` (`DESTDIR` and `PREFIX` environment variables are supported, amongs other common ones). An example AppArmor profile is provided at `usr.bin.badwolf`, please do some long runtime checks before shipping it or a modified version, help can be provided but with no support.

-You'll also need inkscape (command line only) if you want to regenerate the icons, for example after modifying them or adding a new size. These aren't needed for normal installation as it is bundled.

## Notes
Most of the privacy/security stuff will be done with patches against WebKit as quite a lot isn’t into [WebKitSettings](https://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/WebKitSettings.html) and with generic WebKit extensions that should be resuseable.
