Hi! Good news everyone using Debian and it's many derivatives!
I've started to experiment with packaging BackupPC 4 for Debian and Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu, Mint, etc. and made great progress. I've successfully tested this on Ubuntu 16.10/Yakkety and Jack did the same for Debian 9/Stretch. Many thanks go out to the prior work that I have build on: * Ludovic's BackupPC Debian packages work, see https://packages.qa.debian.org/b/backuppc.html , * Jacks's excellent BackupPC 4.0.0beta3 Debian packaging work, see https://github.com/JackSlateur/backuppc4 , and * Debian's rsync package, see https://packages.qa.debian.org/r/rsync.html -> oldstable. The Current Build Work Flow: 1. Build rsync_bpc via https://github.com/raoulbhatia/rsync-bpc/tree/DEBIAN 2. Build backuppc-xs via https://github.com/raoulbhatia/backuppc-xs/tree/DEBIAN 3. Install backuppc-xs package on build host 4a. Add user backuppc [1] 4b. Install SCGI.pm from CPAN, if my local hack does not work for you :-/ [1] 5. Build backuppc via https://github.com/raoulbhatia/backuppc/tree/DEBIAN Build Work Flow: a. Install the Debian build packages: apt-get install build-essential fakeroot b. git clone <URL-from-above> c. Install the build dependencies (see "Build-Depends" in debian/rules - I do not know the command to install this from the top of my head right now) d. fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us e. Your package is available one directory above -> "ls ../*deb" Next Steps: * Happy if you can build on my work :) Please give me some feedback! * I can provide packages that work with Ubuntu 16.10 in case you do not want to build them yourselves. * If you would know a way to integrate this with a free build-service that will generate the *.deb artifacts, please let me know / issue a pull request. * I will try to discuss with Ludovic reg. how to integrate this into Debian ASAP.
