Hi!
Good news everyone using Debian and it's many derivatives!
I've started to experiment with packaging BackupPC 4 for Debian and
Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu, Mint, etc. and made great
progress.
I've successfully tested this on Ubuntu 16.10/Yakkety and Jack did the
same for Debian 9/Stretch.
Many thanks go out to the prior work that I have build on:
* Ludovic's BackupPC Debian packages work, see
https://packages.qa.debian.org/b/backuppc.html ,
* Jacks's excellent BackupPC 4.0.0beta3 Debian packaging work, see
https://github.com/JackSlateur/backuppc4 , and
* Debian's rsync package, see
https://packages.qa.debian.org/r/rsync.html -> oldstable.
The Current Build Work Flow:
1. Build rsync_bpc via
https://github.com/raoulbhatia/rsync-bpc/tree/DEBIAN
2. Build backuppc-xs via
https://github.com/raoulbhatia/backuppc-xs/tree/DEBIAN
3. Install backuppc-xs package on build host
4a. Add user backuppc [1]
4b. Install SCGI.pm from CPAN, if my local hack does not work for you
:-/ [1]
5. Build backuppc via
https://github.com/raoulbhatia/backuppc/tree/DEBIAN
Build Work Flow:
a. Install the Debian build packages: apt-get install build-essential
fakeroot
b. git clone <URL-from-above>
c. Install the build dependencies (see "Build-Depends" in debian/rules -
I do not know the command to install this from the top of my head right
now)
d. fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
e. Your package is available one directory above -> "ls ../*deb"
Next Steps:
* Happy if you can build on my work :) Please give me some feedback!
* I can provide packages that work with Ubuntu 16.10 in case you do not
want to build them yourselves.
* If you would know a way to integrate this with a free build-service
that will generate the *.deb artifacts, please let me know / issue a
pull request.
* I will try to discuss with Ludovic reg. how to integrate this into
Debian ASAP.
Cheers,
Raoul
