Bug#918075: Some patches for dar
Hi Laszlo, I have uploaded dar 2.7.9 with the change to Maintainer. libthreadar is also in NEW, and once it is accepted, I will be able to enable curl to provide FTP/SFTP support and close the bug entirely. Thank you for your work maintaining dar all this time! - John On Mon, Jun 05 2023, László Böszörményi (GCS) wrote: > Hi John, > > On Mon, Jun 5, 2023 at 10:12 PM John Goerzen wrote: >> If you are open to me taking over dar at this time, I would go ahead and >> upload 2.7.9 (with my updates above) with the maintainer changed to me. > I just ask for one thing.

Hi László, With bookworm almost released, I figured I'd check back in. In addition to the uses I've been using dar for already, I'm beginning work on a long-term data archiving project with it, which is expanding my use case set. I blogged about that at https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10500-recommendations-for-tools-for-backing-up-and-archiving-to-removable-media if you are interested. Anyhow, additional comments inline below: On Wed, Mar 08 2023, László Böszörményi wrote: > Hi John, > > On Wed, Mar 8, 2023 at 2:47 PM John Goerzen wrote: >> I had thought that I'd be able to get by without the delta-diff >> features, but due to some changes over here, they would save me multiple >> GBs per day.

I saw that the request to include a patched version in bookworm was denied; that's unfortunate, but I will prepare a backport for it anyway. My local patchset (not uploaded) carries this changelog: * Support delta changes via librsync. * Update dep on e2fslibs-dev to new name libext2fs-dev * Add dep on libcap-dev to eneable proper capability handling. * Add build-dependency on dot to ensure figures for docs are always built. Some of the dar frontends use the Python bindings, so I may also look into getting those built in the future. If you are open to me taking over dar at this time, I would go ahead and upload 2.7.9 (with my updates above) with the maintainer changed to me. Thanks, John

I am open to giving the package to you during the Trixie release cycle. Regards, Laszlo/GCS
Bug#918075: Some patches for dar
Hi László,
I had thought that I'd be able to get by without the delta-diff
features, but due to some changes over here, they would save me multiple
GBs per day. So I am happy to dive in to work on dar.
I have submitted an ITP for libthreadar, which will allow multithreaded
compression/encryption as well as enable remote repository support. I
have also uploaded a backport of librsync to bullseye-backports to
enable a future dar backport to bullseye with binary delta support.
The attached patch adds binary delta support, as well as cleaning up
some other things (documentation images and capability support depending
on what was installed in the build environment, for instance). I was
also able to backport the result to bullseye.
Would you like me to take over maintaining dar? Or would you like to
apply the patch (with appropriate changelog updates) and upload it? Or
I could upload it and leave the maintainers line alone?
Thanks!
- John
