Package: backupninja Version: 0.9.6-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi.
The cache dir in /root/.cache/duplicity tends to grow dangerously (see other problems already reported in #572523). It is even re-populated with old full backup data that aren't any more necessary and likes. As discussed in thread concluded by http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2010-02/msg00012.html, it's necessary to use cleanup with --extra-clean to avoid this, IMHO. The duplicity manpage explains : --extra-clean When cleaning up, be more aggressive about saving space. For example, this may delete signature files for old backup chains. This is exactly what needs to be added for the dup handler, IMHO. The patch looks like (assuming #572495 already fixed) : --- /usr/share/backupninja/dup~ 2010-03-04 19:00:28.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/share/backupninja/dup 2010-03-05 22:29:00.000000000 +0100 @@ -214,12 +214,12 @@ # cleanup if [ "$duplicity_major" -ge 0 -a "$duplicity_minor" -ge 4 -a "$duplicity_sub" -ge 4 ]; then - debug "$precmd duplicity cleanup --force $execstr_options $execstr_serverpart" + debug "$precmd duplicity cleanup --force --extra-clean $execstr_options $execstr_serverpart" if [ ! $test ]; then export PASSPHRASE=$password output=`nice -n $nicelevel \ su -c \ - "$precmd duplicity cleanup --force $execstr_options $execstr_serverpart 2>&1"` + "$precmd duplicity cleanup --force --extra-clean $execstr_options $execstr_serverpart 2>&1"` exit_code=$? if [ $exit_code -eq 0 ]; then debug $output Thanks in advance.
