Hello everybody,
FSVS 1.0.7 is released. ----- Excerpt from http://fsvs.tigris.org FSVS stands for “Fast System VerSioning”, “File System VerSioning” or “Full System VerSioning”. It aims to become a complete backup/restore tool for all files in a directory tree or whole filesystems, with a subversion repository as the backend. You may think of it as some kind of tar or rsync with versioned storage. ----- Excerpt ends The biggest change is compatibility for non-UTF8-environments; so everybody running with ISO-8859-1 or -15 should now be able to commit/update files with umlauts or other special characters now. A big "THANK YOU" goes to Gunter Ohrner, who did much of this work. Because of the amount of spam coming to dev@ and users@ I had to switch these mailing lists to moderated; please subscribe, and/or use the gmane interfaces (http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.fsvs.general and http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.fsvs.devel). Changes since 1.0.6 - Support for non-UTF8-encodings. Filenames, symlink targets, and commit messages with non-ASCII-characters are now correctly en/decoded on commit/update. - On commit just before adding a new file to the repository we check if it still exists. Previously we'd abort if we found a temporary file on the initial scan, which was deleted when we wanted to send it. - "make run-tests" can now be run as a user, too. Tests which would need root priviledges are skipped with a warning. Note that you'll have to set the environment variable WAA to an existing directory; a normal user won't be able to write to /var/spool/fsvs. - Some small performance updates were done. - Developers can now enable debug and gcov compile modes, to see how much lines the tests cover (currently 63%) Changes since 1.0.6 - Support for non-UTF8-encodings.
