I know Benjamin Lefoul took over as packager for Fedora. Benjamin, is there
an RPM coming soon for v4? I've got a CentOS 7 system suitable for testing
it on.

I actually just recently took over maintainership of BackupPC for Fedora and EPEL. There's still quite a bit of work to be done.

There were several patches applied which I had to evaluate if they were still necessary which is done. There's also two new requirements, BackupPC-XS and rsync-bpc which needed Review Requests which are also done but rsync-bpc still needs to be built and it will be at least a week before I can push them to stable.

I actually plan on starting with a COPR for testing purposes since I don't want to automatically start upgrading people. In fact I plan on building version 4 on F26, and rawhide only for that reason.

I'm still working on how to properly stop BackupPC from SystemD, all the methods I've tried exit with a code which SystemD interprets as a failure..

Good to hear it’s being worked on!
