I believe a few people will be involved if such a repository will be created and maintained. I am maintaining sysutils/backuppc and sysutils/backuppc-devel FreeBSD ports. At some point I realized I need a repository just to keep tracking patches between Craig's timeouts (your concern #1). Of course I am rather interested in contributing to a community repository (your concern #2). I am not a "proper" coder and busy too. I'd like to contributing on occasional basis. Actually, I am using v3 and not considering move to v4 while it is unmaintained. I think with v3 it will be easier to fix on my own potential breakages related to external changes (OS, Perl, ...). Also, as far as I know policies of some OS prohibit including nonstable (alpha, beta) software in distribution. So a lot of users will be stick to v3 for a long time. > What is the current status/plans around BPC? Unmaintained/abandoned - I am really sorry, but no any feedback from developer more than a year. > Do you have any patches that are not applied to either v3 or v4 releases? So, some patches are there: https://github.com/moisseev/BackupPC This test script illustrates potential unexpected loss of a few backups after modifying BackupPC settings: https://gist.github.com/moisseev/d5a8a499a7b69b1f0428 -- Alexander ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-devel mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-devel Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
