I've now spent a week or so testing this build and all the 
test backups of target client have succeeded and also some 
select restores. I configured httpd with mod_perl which 
reflects the production operation on my home system.
I would now like to build and install the BackupPC-4.4.1rc1 
release candidate starting with building BackupPC_XS-0.63. 
These release candidates do not have pre built src.rpm's or 
spec file thus when trying to build in mock it is 
complaining of the lack of a spec file. Is it possible to 
extract and modify the spec file for the current 
BackupPC_XS-0.62 to reflect the .63 candidate. I've already 
extracted it and browsed for what changes need to be made. 
Obviously the change log is going to be lacking in 
completeness. I would remove the references to zlib being 
provided.
I don't want to use any  other install method other than as 
an rpm.
Your thoughts and guidance appreciated.
