EPEL packages for a new rsnapshot version (1.4.2) have been built and available in testing.

There are many bug fixed in this release. From upstream the config file should be comptabile with the existing 1.3.1 currently in EPEL.

However given new upstream maintainer/hosting, it was about seven years between upstream releases, and rsnapshot is used for things like backups, we are taking extra caution with this release.

So we are emailing this list to get extra notice and we are planning on at least 4 weeks in testing and hoping to get some good testing and karma reflected before moving to push to stable.

Also, thanks to new co-maintener for the rsnapshot package James Hogarth for getting the actually mods, builds put together.

As an update to the announcement, it's been noted in the Fedora users mailing list that the log file had a change of syntax at 1.3.2 (we were on 1.3.1) back in 2012 ...

The logfile now has the timestamps in ISO 8601 format rather than apache-like so if any parsing or logstash tools are being used against the rsnapshot logs they will need to be updated to account for this

Hi all,

We held this back due to an LVM bug that was found in Fedora and came under investigation (rsnapshot failed if an lvm:// entry was after the regular backup entries. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1388209 describes the bug).

A patch has been backported and tested in the Fedora build.

With this now fixed please be aware we'll be pushing the 1.4.2 update in roughly a week, with the version currently in epel-testing being the one due to be pushed.

The updated bodhi links for the version with the LVM fix:
