Hello there, My name is Stefanos Harhalakis and I'm a sysadmin at TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece. I'm looking for a sponsor for a program of mine (I've also created the debian package). This is a new package:
Name: vbackup License: GPLv2. May be changed to GPLv3. Version: 0.1.4 Author: Stefanos Harhalakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (that's me) URL: http://www.it.teithe.gr/~v13/vbackup/ ITP: 458340 deb: http://hydra.it.teithe.gr/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-all/admin/vbackup_0.1.4-2_all.deb vbackup is a modular backup program. It is a set of scripts that can perform full or incremental system backups. Currently it supports: * Filesystem backups using tar * XFS backups using xfsdump * PostgreSQL backups * MySQL backups * dpkg package list backups and can be easily extended to do other things. I'm using parts of this program to backup some of our systems for the last 2+ years. The program is developed by me and I'm developing it for our needs (currently, it is going to backup 8 systems). I've already packaged it and created a mini repository to ease the installation on those systems (7 of them are running debian). Since I'm the original author of the program and I'm depending on debian packages for using this program in our systems, I believe that this package will not become easily unmaintained. The reason I've created vbackup and I'm seeking for debian inclusion is that I believe that there is no similar backup program available. vbackup is opensource, very simple to setup, very easy to extend and it is shell script based. The package almost passes the lintian check and fully passes the linda check. There is a problem with the rules file because there are commands listed in arch-binary instead of arch-indep (the package is for architecture: all) but I'm not 100% sure about how to correctly correct this. There is also a (I believe) bogus warning that lintian reports: W: vbackup source: binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep W: vbackup source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.2 (current is 3.7.3) I could not register vbackup with the sponsors.debian.net site. I've created the ITP (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=458340) using reportbug but the site keep saying: ----- Connecting to bugs database... done Searching database... done Some errors occured: ITP/ITA number 458340 doesn't have the phrase "ITP: vbackup" or "ITA: vbackup" in the title ----- while the ITP bug report actually has this in the title. Any suggestions with that? Best regards, Stefanos Harhalakis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
