Thank you, I am very grateful for your offer of help. However... My interactions with Github have been a long catalogue of problems and at least as far as BackupPC is concerned I remain unconvinced that Github has a future. I am very reluctant to put effort into anything that is specifically Github-oriented. I put a tarball (make -f MakeReal dist) in the working directory here, would it be OK for you if I just commit that tarball when the time comes? (I can do that anytime but I wonder if we shouldn't do some more testing first? :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
