Bug#887490: interested, but...

2018-02-05 Thread grin
Hello,

I offer my intrest and assistance, but I am very unreliable regarding
deadlines and promised work. Still, have been fixing it up for ourselves 
for quite a long time now, so I may do it in a shared repo as well.

Also fiddled with v4 for a while but didn't finsh it; I'll check the
offered URL. V4 would be pretty big improvement ofer v3 due to dropped
hardlinking, which defeats all tries to rsync the backend pool beyond
a given size.

Bug#873075: Where are we now?

2020-04-22 Thread grin
Hello &everyone()!

What is the state of BPC4 in Debian now?

I see 
- old binaries of 4.3.0, prefectly working
  https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Build-Your-Own-Packages
- built from/with 
  https://github.com/raoulbhatia/rsync-bpc
  https://github.com/raoulbhatia/libbackuppc-xs-perl
  https://github.com/raoulbhatia/backuppc
- there are packages already in Debian:
  backuppc-rsync (3.1.2.1-2)
  libbackuppc-xs-perl (0.57-2)

I am reliably using the packages (pbc 4.3.0, libbpc-xs 0.59-1+b1, rsync-bpc 
3.0.9.12) since long time ago.

What problems need to be resolved to have actual backuppc4 (v4.3.2 is the 
current release) in sid proper?

Peter
