Hello,
After working on different solutions to fix hdup 2.0.1 I finally saw
the light 2 weeks ago :-) This has now resulted in hdup 2.0.3. With
this release you can at last do the things I promised for 2.0.0 :-)
I'm sure there will still be issues, but it's working fine for me
and a few other people. One compilation thingy - you need gmake
and is does not compile on freebsd 4.11 (it _does_ compile on
freebsd 5.3) and I have no idea why...
Documentation is still not great, esp. on the newly include/exclude
mechanism, but this will improve in the next releases.
The subversion repo is also still not open - because mod_dav is not
working on apache2 (from Debian Unstable).
The project page for hdup2 is http://www.miek.nl/projects/hdup2.
(btw, 2.0.2 was never released publicly)
This will hopefully mark the end of life for hdup1.6 :-)
The changelog:
[Bugs]
* Incremental backups are fixed
* Security fixes (thanks to pscan, rats, flawfinder)
* Compile fix for OSX
* Compilation now needs gmake
* Fix the include/exclude mechanism. Per default there
is a .* include, which is overriden by any user defined
include.
* Use -f when compressing (see bzip2/gzip/lzop man pages)
* Removed bogus fprintf
* Gzip compression wasn't enabled by default
[Features]
* unexpandable arguments in the pre- and post- scripts
are expanded to -empty-
* Use fread, speedup of factor 2 (est.)
[Remarks]
* You need 'gmake' to compile it
[Todo]
* It does not compile on FreeBSD 4.11 (it does on 5.3...)
Happy holidays,
(If there are issues: I'm having a mini holiday from Christmas till
2nd of Januri).
grtz,
