And many thanks to you!  I tried CentOS 8 six-ish months too earlier.  All’s 
well that ends well, though right?  Thanks Richard!

Thanks,

Greg Harris

For those of you who may not be aware of this.

In the process of building a replacement machine (hardware update) I
have discovered that CentOS 8, the EPEL repo offers BackupPC 4.3.2. (The
CentOS 7 EPEL repo offers BackupPC 3.3.2.)

After years of building from source, building *.deb packages and various
other build processes, one of the Linux distros has "caught up" to a
current version of BackupPC (4.3.2) in one of their repos.

As the matinainer of BackupPC on Fedora/EPEL thanks! (and you even get to keep 
selinux on!)

The decision to not update EL 7 was intentional as there were some non-backward 
compatible changes that necessitate manual involvement. I didn't want to auto 
update the 10s of thousands of systems and deal will the fall out. I do however 
provide 4.X for EL 6 & 7 via my COPR:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/BackupPC/

The EL7 repo file has nearly 50,000 downloads.

Thanks,
Richard
