Hi Bob,

You are essentially correct. It pulls the master branch, which is the
latest development version. For example, as of this writing, master has
seven commits that are not in v4_1_0.

For releases, there are now the tarballs. Craig added notes on how to
use those in the script, too. If there is demand for it, I can develop
the script to allow easy selection for development or stable.

Best regards,
Johan

Still getting use to github and how things happen here . . . am I
correct that Johan's script is pulling "thee" latest version of BackupPC
(currently v4.1.0, I think) with all the latest "merges" applied?

I think a script choosing between the stable and the development is a good idea.

Perhaps you should also consider an upgrade script?

Myself, I have begun using stable tarball versions of software in place of distro version packages. Some distro software versions packages lag too far behind the releases. This ties to how quickly the package development is advancing. In the last few months, now that Craig has time, things have moved very quickly. If this pace keeps up, IMHO, stable tarball is the way to go. But, that's me.

I am thinking of installing my BackupPC boxes from source to stay current.
