I see that BackupPC is now available in EPEL 10 – which is great. Is there
a reason why it targets a specific minor version of EL10 (10.2)? The EL9
and EL8 packages are available for any 9.x and 8.x release I think? Rocky
Linux has only just released 10.1. What happens when 10.3 is released?

Let me amend, it looks like we need perl-Net-FTP-RetrHandle but it may yet
have other deps...

Is the current bad karma due to the build failing? I still see this:



Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides
perl(Net::FTP::AutoReconnect) needed by BackupPC-4.4.0-20.el10_2.x86_64
from brew-139020571 - nothing provides perl(Net::FTP::RetrHandle) needed by
BackupPC-4.4.0-20.el10_2.x86_64 from brew-139020571 (try to add

only best candidate packages) Installation of
BackupPC-0:4.4.0-20.el10_2.x86_64 failed. See dnf-3 command output above
for more information.



Those are run time dependencies not build time dependencies so I didn't see
the issue when building. Those will need to be built for EPEL 10 as well
but I'm not the maintainer.



It looks like perl-libnet needs to be built for EPEL 10...



Thanks,

Richard

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can skip this dependency if you
don't use the FTP protocol in your backups.
