I acknowledge this is a limitation of the current implementation. It's documented in example.dup. FYI backupninja is in maintenance mode: patches are welcome, but don't expect upstream to add new features. > I think there might be some confusion between signing and encrpyting > anyway, because the config file commentary suggests that a pass- > phrase is used for unlocking the encryption key, which is plain non- > sense as GPG always uses public keys for (message) encryption. I don't think this to be non-sense. The passphrase that unlocks the encryption key is needed at incremental backup time because duplicity needs to decrypt the metadata of previous backup sets, in order to know what's new to backup. If you still think it's non-sense while being aware of this, please clarify :) Cheers, -- intrigeri | GnuPG key @ https://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/intrigeri.asc | OTR fingerprint @ https://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/otr.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
