Source: borgbackup Severity: wishlist It would be great if borg would be backported to jessie (and, why not, wheezy!).
It would also help in the long run if people have compatibility problems such as the ones described in #809136: by having newer versions available in stable, we can upgrade a fleet of debian machines all at once without adverse effects (same as what's happening with rdiff-backup, unison or syncthing, as described there). from what i understand, there are two dependencies that need to be backported: * setuptools-scm: backported by Gianfranco already, but out of date (1.8 backported vs 1.10 in stretch) * python3-msgpack: backport missing. zigo contacted, said he would backport himself. i'll open a bug report about this on msgpack to track that this is not a "whiny whiny i want my borg" bug report. it's a "let's work together and see what's missing" bug report. coordination and all. i would be happy to do the backport myself, i just don't want to step on anyones toes or duplicate work. thanks! -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
