I am currently preparing my docker of BackupPC for the upcoming release of 4.1.1. I managed to start BackupPC 4.1.1rc1 in it, I will check soon that it is actually working.
Great! Thanks!
In the meantime I encountered two quirks ... ... 1) I encountered compilation issues for the Perl module BackupPC:XS, related to unmapped C types int64 and uint32. ...
Added your patch to the typemap in c64aabc8...
2) The current pre-release does not include the actual distribution tarball normally generated with the makeDist script. Here also I do it online, but it should be part of the release process as for the previous versions.
Yes, agreed it should be in the 0.63 release when the time comes.
As said in .../backuppc/issues/559#issuecomment-5256700557, I am eager to help automating the releasing process using GitHub Actions if you are interested.
Thank you, I am very grateful for your offer of help. However... My interactions with Github have been a long catalogue of problems and at least as far as BackupPC is concerned I remain unconvinced that Github has a future. I am very reluctant to put effort into anything that is specifically Github-oriented. I put a tarball (make -f MakeReal dist) in the working directory here, would it be OK for you if I just commit that tarball when the time comes? (I can do that anytime but I wonder if we shouldn't do some more testing first? :) -- 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/
