Hi all,
I've just packaged Obnam, Lars Wirzenius' new B-tree-based backup tool (think btrfs for backup), whose 1.0 release was recently announced on Linux Weekly News on Friday, June 1st:
http://lwn.net/Articles/499845/
It consists of 8 packages, and there are two more (seivot, for benchmarking, and summain, for generating diff-able file manifests) that I have not packaged yet, all eight are in Bugzilla, in descending order (packages at the bottom are depended on by the ones on top)
obnam - An easy, secure backup program https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827810
genbackupdata - A program to generate test data for testing backup software https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827809
python-larch - Python B-tree library https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827808
python-tracing - Python debug logging helper https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827807
cmdtest - Black-box testing for Unix command line tools https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827806
python-ttystatus - Progress and status updates on terminals for Python https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827805
python-cliapp - Python framework for Unix command line programs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827804
python-coverage-test-runner - Python module for enforcing code coverage completeness https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827803
I've so far tested it for local unencrypted backups -- there's a problem with Obnam's locking mechanism I've emailed Lars about, so some related test cases are disabled, and it seems that it also affects going GPG-encrypted backups.
There's a Yum repository for F-17 x86_64 for your testing convenience:
http://hircus.multics.org/yum-repos/obnam.repo http://hircus.multics.org/yum-repos/obnam/
As usual, please reply to the list with which package you want to review and if you want to swap with any of your own review requests.
Thanks,
