Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sbackup
cheers everybody. I am on Gutsy, using sbackup 0.10.4.
If one enters an invalid regex in the simple-backup-config dialog, no warning
is issued,
the flawed regex is saved to sbackup.conf file, and when sbackupd is launched,
it fails miserably.
the problem is made even worse by the fact that simple-backup-config is not
reporting any error message from the sbackupd process it spawns.
beside the fact that probably one should find a way to report some information
about what's going on, at least when the backup is launched from the GUI,
this particular issue should be fixed, as it could take time for the average
user to
understand what's going wrong (ok, maybe the average user is not using regex,
indeed...)
being a GUI flaw, the fix should be trivial enough for me to implement it, I
would like
to have some advice as where it would be more appropriate to post a patch, here
or upstream?
thanks,
michele
