-            apt-get install linux-libc-dev
+    ```sh
+    git checkout 0.33
+    ```

 
 

-   Substitute python2.5-dev or python2.4-dev if you have an older
-   system.  Alternately, on newer Debian/Ubuntu versions, you can try
-   this:
-    
-            apt-get build-dep bup

-    (The tests should pass.  If they don't pass for you, stop here and send
-    me an email.)
+    If you have the Python xdist module installed, then you can

- - bup currently has no features that prune away *old* backups.

-    Because of the way the packfile system works, backups become "entangled"
-    in weird ways and it's not actually possible to delete one pack
-    (corresponding approximately to one backup) without risking screwing up
-    other backups.
-   
-    git itself has lots of ways of optimizing this sort of thing, but its
-    methods aren't really applicable here; bup packfiles are just too huge.
-    We'll have to do it in a totally different way.  There are lots of
-    options.  For now: make sure you've got lots of disk space :)
