thanks Hi Marc, thanks for the bug report! I'll monitor upstream :) cheers, G. Il Domenica 27 Dicembre 2015 14:45, Marc Haber <mh+debian-packa...@zugschlus.de> ha scritto: Package: borgbackup Version: 0.29.0-1 Severity: important Hi. borgbackup broke API compatibility between 0.28 and 0.29 versions. You need to have both server and client on the same version for borgbackup to work. This has been documented by upstream, telling users that they need to have both server and client on the same version. This has, unfortunately, been ignored by Debian when packaging the software. The workaround suggested by upstream seriously is to have all incompatible versions of the server installed and having the client choose which server to use. So debian would need to have a borgbackup-0.28 package and a borgbackup-0.29 package and all incompatible API versions simultaneously since it is extremely unlikely that Debian unstable, testing and stable will have compatible versions of borgbackup and that one surely will want to back up unstable systems to a stable server or vice versa. With uncooperative (and not even understanding the issue) upstream like that, providing a Debian package of borgbackup will be an extreme challenge. I suggest the following addition to the package description in case this issue is not solveable: " Please note that the server and the client should be on the same version of borgbackup. Using different versions of borgbackup on client and server might result in 'incompatible API version' error messages and a non-working backup. " Greetings Marc
