Alright guys, I went ahead and created a COPR for BackupPC...

You just have to go in and download the repository file and copy to /etc/yum.repos.d/

 

It uses the same name so a simple "yum update" should pick it up...

 

It SHOULD save the new config.pl to config.pl.rpmnew

 

I recommend doing a diff -Nau config.pl config.pl.rpmnew and saving the chunks you need and reapply them to the new config.pl... If you had customized rsync commands you may need to re setup them up.

 

May the odds be ever in your favor!

 

Thanks,

Richard

Thanks for this.

First, I will admit to being a little "green" to the manner CentOS does a few things so, I'm about to ask newbie question.

I have fetched and located your COPR into /etc/yum.repos.d/ as instructed.

Ran:  # yum install BackupPC

And get this near the end (of all the dependencies list):

---> Package mesa-libgbm.x86_64 0:11.2.2-2.20160614.el7 will be installed
---> Package mesa-libglapi.x86_64 0:11.2.2-2.20160614.el7 will be installed

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I also searched:

yum search perl-Time-modules

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

* base: mirror.steadfast.net

* extras: mirrors.cmich.edu

* updates: mirrors.rit.edu

Warning: No matches found for: perl-Time-modules

No matches found

So, I tried adding "--skip-broken" . . . . (this is new to me.)

And the install "Skipped (dependency problems)" that included BackupPC.X86_64 0:4.1.0-1.el7.centos BackupPC-XS.x86_64 0:0.53-1.el7.centos rsync-bpc.x86_64 0:3.0.9.6-1.el7.centos and 49 other packages.

Ran: "You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest"

Still no love!

I will be away from my VM machine for the day and will not be available to try again until this evening (it's early morning here, now.)

I have been using linux since 2002. I'm a Debian/Ubuntu guy. Sorry, I am not that familiar with some of the CentOS rudimentary things a typical Cent user might already know.

What to do?
