BackupPC 4.0.0alpha1 released

BackupPC community,

I'm pleased to announce that BackupPC 4.0.0alpha1 has been released on
SourceForge at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/backuppc-beta/4.0.0alpha1/


BackupPC 4.0.0alpha1 contains a few bug fixes since BackupPC 4.0.0alpha0
was released just over a week ago.  If you are testing BackupPC 4.0.0alpha0,
I recommend you upgrade.

Each of the three packages in the release has been updated.  You should
upgrade all three packages:

 - BackupPC-4.0.0alpha1.tar.gz: the usual BackupPC release tar ball.
 - BackupPC-XS-0.10.tar.gz: a perl XS module with C code that replaces
several BackupPC perl libraries for improved performance.
 - rsync-bpc-3.0.9.1.tar.gz: a modified rsync that runs on the server that
has a shim layer that interfaces directly to the BackupPC file system.

As before, I do not recommend using this release in any production
environment.  Having some people try it out in a sandbox in their
environment would be very helpful

I'm attaching some short notes on the build/install steps for each package.

Craig

BackupPC-XS-0.10.tar.gz:

  tar zxvf BackupPC-XS-0.10.tar.gz
  cd BackupPC-XS-0.10
  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test
  make install

rsync-bpc-3.0.9.1.tar.gz:

  tar zxvf rsync-bpc-3.0.9.1.tar.gz
  cd rsync-bpc-3.0.9.1
  ./configure.sh
  make
  make install

BackupPC-4.0.0alpha1.tar.gz:

  tar zxvf BackupPC-4.0.0alpha1.tar.gz
  cd BackupPC-4.0.0alpha1
  ./configure.pl

The last step for each will need to be run as a privileged user.

If you want to install rsync_bpc in /usr/local/bin (default might be
/usr/bin), then you should add the --prefix option to configure.sh:

  ./configure.sh --prefix=/usr/local
