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

Can I assume that github is very similar to Clearcase?

I'm glad to see this get off the ground -- with no disrespect to the great work that Craig has done over the years.

Just a couple more suggestions (and I'm sure this list will grow as the project does):

* It might be worth contacting and inviting the individual maintainers of the primary distributions - EPEL/Debian/et al. IIRC, most of them are on this list. But I'll just echo what most of has already been said in that we prefer to install via package managers rather than via tarball.

* It might be good to restore/convert the old website (via github), which had a TON of useful scripts and other bits which are still applicable to v.3.x.

I have to agree. After 10+ years of using BPC I've not found many situations
where it would be really useful. Better to get other functionality out
sooner. As Voltaire said and Kalashnikov exemplified, "the perfect is the
enemy of the good".
