[BackupPC-users] Git "Issue" re integration of windows clients

I finished carefully going through the recent messages on re-viving backpuppc sent to this list; just one short note before switching to the devel list (to which I still need to subscribe): As a result, I have added an issue on the integration of windows clients - that has been discussed and,

Re: [BackupPC-users] Message from Craig

Don't worry Carl, we will keep our dear users up to date ;) Whoever is interested in development is urged to move to devel list and IRC. We will be quite busy, but people is always welcome. After the dust settle we will start making announcements which, at least for the first time, will be

Re: [BackupPC-users] Status on new BackupPC v4

I think users got the idea we are moving again, by now. I think we should stop clogging the users ML, which should be reserved to help users. Please move to the devel list, or, better, open a issue on github and continue discussion there with whoever is interested to setting up a nice CI / AT.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Status on new BackupPC v4

Anyone have any thoughts about using buildbot? http://buildbot.net/ Looks like a pretty straightforward CI and testing tool that also integrates with github. This would seem to be a good tool for local testing of backuppc functionality with various xfer methods after the build. -Rich

[BackupPC-users] Message from Craig

Hi All, I just posted an email response from Craig (BackupPC creator) on the development mail list. I thought I should post it here as well. I promise, last message from me on the user list in regards to this topic. : ) -- David & team, Thanks for

Re: [BackupPC-users] Status on new BackupPC v4

Hey Les, Travis-CI is just the integration point, it runs in the cloud, not on a client machine. The actual tests would be some perl testing framework, whatever is chosen, and those tests could be launched locally by the developers as well. Ideally the test-running would be built into the code

Re: [BackupPC-users] Use devel list for BackupPC4 discussion?

Hi Kenneth, We started here partly by chance and partly because we wanted to give this the most publicity, but You are right: it's time to move to the devel list. I urge anyone interested to move there and to join #backuppc channel on freenode. Regards Mauro Il 18/05/2016 18:59, Kenneth

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC - take a day off?

Maybe it's possible to create a blackout period for that day? Not sure if one should specify saturday or sunday as weekdays. $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [ { hourBegin => 1.0, hourEnd => 23.5, weekDays => [0], }, ]; Kind regards Pasi Thanks! I think this is it. I completely

[BackupPC-users] Use devel list for BackupPC4 discussion?

Would it not make more sense to move the development discussion to the development mailing list and leave this list to end user help? Here's the link to the devel list:

Re: [BackupPC-users] Status on new BackupPC v4

Another options is travis-ci which has great integration with GitHub. Basicly we can configure the project so that when a user makes a pull request (submits a patch), tests are run automatically. Every person (not just admins) can see right on the pull request page if the tests passed or failed.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Copyright protection

Hi Lars, please have a look on the subject. I had a look on github and I found several projects addressing this; e.g: https://github.com/clabot/clabot https://github.com/datastax/cla-enforcer https://www.clahub.com/ ecc... What do You suggest? I think this is probably needed.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Copyright protection

I think most GPL projects still use a CLA to help protect the project in the case of future litigation. The Linux Kernel for example is GPL v2, but still requires CLA language appended to each patch submission. Other projects just have the developer submit a signed CLA a single time when they make

Re: [BackupPC-users] Copyright protection

Your right about this. Most projects have a "Contributor's Agreement". We should look at some examples from popular projects and maybe just copy it with a few changes where appropriate. Starting Point: http://oss-watch.ac.uk/resources/cla David On Wed, May 18, 2016 at 9:02 AM, Mauro Condarelli

I haven't encountered this particular IP requirement before. I am located in the US and will inquire about the explicit transfer of copyright with my management. I'd be happy to give patch reviewing a shot. If I get approval to do this through work, I can try to set aside time each week for

I do have some lab resources available to me for standing up and tearing down VMs of various OS flavors. The resources are not limitless, but more than I have on my personal machines. We've been using puppet and ansible for some of our internal test automation. One or both may be candidates for

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC - take a day off?

And I may have just answered my own question; tell it to take the morning off, or start the virus scan after pooling and compression, which usually ends by 1 or 1:10 a.m. But, if anyone knows how to have BackupPC systems take Sunday as a rest day while the scanner scans, that would be good.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC - take a day off?

I've got BackupPC running on a somewhat low spec server, but it's running fine for the 60 or so PCs we've got in use. In fact, it's saved the day on numerous occasions. The system specs are just good enough to fully support all the usual BackupPC functions. Issue: I want to use ClamAV to
