Hello Dominic, Yes, that is to distinguish between the rdiff-backup package provided by debien repo and the various version provided by my unofficial repository.
You can install a specific version of rdiff-backup. sudo apt install rdiff-backup-1.2 sudo apt install rdiff-backup-2.0 sudo apt install rdiff-backup-2.2 Here the version could be installed in parallel. If I remember correctly, you may need to create a symbolic link to your default version. /usr/bin/rdiff-backup -> /opt/rdiff-backup-2.2/rdiff-backup Le jeu. 15 févr. 2024, à 07 h 32, Dominic Raferd <domi...@timedicer.co.uk> a écrit : > Thanks Eric and Patrik. > > Patrik, on a client (running Ubuntu 22.04) I added your repo (for > rdiffweb) per the instructions at your website (option 1), but running > apt upgrade I don't see an upgrade available for rdiff-backup (from > v2.0.5), do I need to do something else? > > On 15/02/2024 12:06, Patrik Dufresne wrote: > > Or you could use one of my unofficial rdiff-backup package compiled for > > most debian flavour. > > > > Https://Nexus.ikus-soft.com > > > > You can follow instructions to install APT repo from rdiffweb > documentation. > > > > > > On Thu., Feb. 15, 2024, 02:32 EricZolf, <ewl+rdiffbac...@lavar.de> > wrote: > > > >> Hi Dominic, > >> > >> Mixing 2.2.x shouldn't be an issue unless you hit one of the issues > listed > >> in the changelog. > >> > >> Regarding PPA, Otto announced a long time ago that he needs > >> co-maintainers.
