Re: [BackupPC-users] Status on new BackupPC v4

Hi,

Thanks to Lars and Mauro. It's great that you've taken this on.

FWIW, I contacted Craig directly last week and received a reply over theweekend. It sounds like he's quite busy, and does not regularly read theselists, but he still hopes to be able to contribute more in the future (ie,review updates and releases).

He also mentioned that the one remaining feature he had planned for 4.0before it became beta was FTP. Unless there is a large demand among usersfor FTP, I'm unsure it should hold up the beta label. Thoughts?

In any event, since the sourceforge pages are currently the 'official'location where new users land (and where distros look for new code), Iasked him to make me an admin on the sourceforge project page. So ifchanges are needed there, including a link to patched and/or bleeding-edgesource on github before it makes it into an official release, I can dothat. I'm also amenable to a few other regular contributors having admin aslong as they have the time, inclination, and ability to help out.

I think if it's eventually officiallyhosted on github, it's important toleave the door open for Craig to assist when/if time permits.


Cheers,
Stephen

My current plans are:

1) bring github up to date.


I have now finished bringing it up to date and have published it on github:

https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc-xs
https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc

4) there are several alpha tarballs for v4.0.0, keeping them as a bit of 
history in the
    branch would be nice.


I have created a branch "v4.0.0" and imported each tarball release as a
commit.
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/tree/v4.0.0

5) request everyone to open "issues" on backuppc/backuppc for:
    a) patches already sent against current code-base.
       this is necessary to consolidate them and avoid losing a lot of good 
work.
    b) bug (or "rough edges") reports against current code-base.
       this is necessary to evaluate the magnitude of involved initial effort.
    c) wishes.
       as we want to move ahead we could as well understand where we want to go.


Issues is open for business, go ahead and report.

Mauro has been invited to the organization already. Please post your
username if you would like to join in.
