It's unfortunately not that simple as you need to get a valid 'debian'
folder for each package to compile the debian packages.
I downloaded the 4.3.0 source packages built by Raoul Bhatia and
copied over the debian folders (plus/minus some minor tweaks) and then
used git to get the new latest sources and fakeroot to compile the packages...
It's all a bit klugey..
Here are my notes:
- First get debian version of old packages from Raoul Bhatia
mkdir raoulbhatia
cd raoulbhatia
git clone https://github.com/raoulbhatia/rsync-bpc rsync-bpc
cd rsync-bpc/
git checkout 3.0.9.13-DEBIAN
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/raoulbhatia/libbackuppc-xs-perl
libbackuppc-xs-perl
cd libbackuppc-xs-perl/
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/raoulbhatia/backuppc backuppc
cd backuppc/
git checkout DEBIAN
- Then build updated packages using git and copying over the debian files
from Raoul
- Build 'rsync-bpc' package
git clone g...@github.com:backuppc/rsync-bpc
cd rsync-bpc/
git checkout 3.0.9.14
cp -a ../raoulbhatia/rsync-bpc/debian debian
dch -i [Update changelog]
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -u
cd ..
dpkg -i rsync-bpc-<xxx>.debs
- Build 'libbackuppc-xs-perl' package
curl --location
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc-xs/releases/download/0.59/BackupPC-XS-0.59.tar.gz
> libbackuppc-xs-perl_0.59.orig.tar.gz
git clone g...@github.com:backuppc/backuppc-xs libbackuppc-xs-perl
cd libbackuppc-xs-perl
cp -a ../raoulbhatia/libbackuppc-xs-perl/debian debian
dpkg-source --commit
name: mtime-signed
Description: Allow mtime to be signed in attrib files
dch -i [Update changelog]
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
cd ..
dpkg -i libbackuppc-xs-perl-<xxx>.deb [Note need to install the
package just compiled]
- Build 'backuppc'
[NOTE: needs new version of libbackuppc-xs-perl to be installed in
order to compile]
git clone g...@github.com:backuppc/backuppc
cd backuppc
cp -a ../raoulbhatia/backuppc/debian/ debian
cp -a ../raoulbhatia/backuppc/lib/SCGI* lib/
[copies over SCGI.pm and SCGI dir]
dch -i [Update changelog]
vi debian/rules [Update the version number]
From: ./makeDist --releasedate "2018-11-26" --version "4.3.0"
To: ./makeDist --releasedate "2019-07-14" --version "4.3.1"
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
cd ..
dpkg -i backuppc-<xxx>.deb
If necessary, restart the backuppc service:
service backuppc restart
Good luck!
