... 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 fix is applied in 4.4.1rc1. It's in three places in the code, one in .../configure.pl and two in .../lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm. For things like this I recommend checking out the source from Github and then using 'gitk'. I find it invaluable. It's much faster and, at least here, much more reliable than trying to use Github. If you do try gitk you'll see that until around October of this year the branch history was kindof a jumble. Hopefully it's under control now. I *think* I've caught up with all the historic fixes (including one which first appeared in September 2012 but was then lost in April 2013 - I reapplied it 13 years later). I'm very glad you're looking at these things. :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
