Hello there! To ease reproducing bugs and trying out different user configurations, I've written a small utility that takes care of creating and extracting archives that contain not only the gPodder configuration, but also the download folder (optionally making zero-size download files).
The utility is in the git repository (master branch) as "bin/gpodder-backup". There is also a manpage (view it with "man doc/man/gpodder-backup.1") You can use it to backup/restore your config + downloads: gpodder-backup --create backup.gpo.tar.gz gpodder-backup --extract backup.gpo.tar.gz --purge If you're just trying out things and want to remove the gPodder configuration and downloads, this utility also makes it easy (be sure to BACKUP first!): gpodder-backup --purge And also use it to create a backup with the download files truncated, so a developer can easily extract it without having to download huge amounts of data: gpodder-backup --create backup.gpo.tar.gz --fake-downloads I hope this utility will be useful for users who want to backup their podcasts and also help us with bugfixing by allowing bug reporters to easily attach their config + download folder structure to a report :) Thomas _______________________________________________ gpodder-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/gpodder-devel
