Re: [BackupPC-users] Updated BackupPC 4 Debian Packages

Ludo,

No, rsync-bpc isn't usable without BackupPC. Your name sounds fine (although it would be good to have a consistent package name across others flavors - are there any already?).

No, 3.1.2 isn't ready for use.

The main upgrade risk area is around rsync config parameters and arguments not being compatible between 3.x and 4.x. Configure.pl tries to extract $Conf{RsyncSshArgs} (a new 4.x setting) from the old $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} setting.

Ok, I've started to package rsync-bpc as a new package name
"backuppc-rsync" to make sure that users do not install rsync-bcp
thinking it's a normal "rsync".

I don't know if rsync-bcp is usable without backuppc?

Is the new package based on rsync 3.1.2 stable enough ?

Ok, I'll try to see if I can handle them during the upgrade process and
try to keep the same package name under Debian.
Do you have a list of configuration incompatibilities?
