You should create the backuppc user first before doing
the install. I didn't so wil have to mess around with
that before I can configure it.

I've now spent a week or so testing this build and all the
test backups of target client have succeeded and also some
select restores. I configured httpd with mod_perl which
reflects the production operation on my home system.
I would now like to build and install the
BackupPC-4.4.1rc1 release candidate starting with building
BackupPC_XS-0.63. These release candidates do not have pre
built src.rpm's or spec file thus when trying to build in
mock it is complaining of the lack of a spec file. Is it
possible to extract and modify the spec file for the
current BackupPC_XS-0.62 to reflect the .63 candidate.
I've already extracted it and browsed for what changes
need to be made. Obviously the change log is going to be
lacking in completeness. I would remove the references to
zlib being provided.
I don't want to use any other install method other than
as an rpm.
Your thoughts and guidance appreciated.
Well after browsing the epel source for backuppc-4.4.0-20
xs-0.62 I see I have a more complex task than I anticipated.
There are a number of patches and added "sources" that
tailor the user environment to a more predictable state. It
appears that my approach will be to transpose sources within
the src.rpm's and change named path's in the varios spec and
folder names. I guess this is a good reason to work in a vm.
Question: There is a patch by cbarrett in backuppc-4.4.0-20
that references issue #466 and is listed as closed around
July 2022. This issue does not appear in the change log for
backuppc-4.4.1rc1. Is this just an omission or does it still
need to be applied as a patch for this release candidate.
The other patches are outside backuppc scope and tailor the
binaries to RH code base or pathing.
