Hey Craig,
I don't seem to get through to the backuppc-devel mailing list.
I have tried twice now waiting one month between tries. I receive
mailings to the list just fine, but mine seem to be swallowed
by the bit bucket. Use the patch every way you want, including
ignoring the problem, but please ping me if you have received
this email, to let me know if I have gotten through.
Cheers,
Joachim Falk

Betreff: Bugfix for BlackoutPeriods in BackupPC_dump
Datum: Sun, 07 Jun 2009 23:26:21 +0200
Von: Joachim Falk <joachim.f...@gmx.de>
An: backuppc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Hey BackupPC developers,
I just switched to the new stable BackupPC version 3.1.0-4
(Debian lenny). In the process I noticed that I had to forward
port a local patch for BackupPC which I had applied to the
BackupPC version in Debian etch. After checking the CVS it
seems that the bug tackled by this patch is still unfixed.
The problem concerns the BlackoutPeriods code in BackupPC_dump
which does strange stuff if there are multiple blackout entries
in the @{$Conf{BlackoutPeriods}} which contain midnight. This
is due to a bug in the $wday handling which is clobbered in
the first entry check of this kind and is therefore wrong
for all following blackout entries. The patch is trivial
and simply copies the $wday var to a local variable $matchWday
which will be reinitialized for each blackout entry check.
(Patch included).
Regards,
Joachim Falk
