I think you can use rsync 3.1.2, in my git I had a working version based on 3.1.2: https://github.com/ldrolez/backuppc-rsync Have a nice day, -- Ludovic Drolez. https://bwebmarket.com - Marketing automation and Web dev https://chezsandro.com - A cool place in Cape Verde :)

So I think it would be better to keep this name, to reduce possible confusions.

Hi, Tobias Frost wrote: > Yes, we're are on it (however, I hoped to dedicate a bit more time to > this week) Before creating a VCS repo for it: I wonder why the package is ITP'ed as "backuppc-rsync" despite upstream calls the software "rsync-bpc". Shouldn't we name the package then "rsync-bpc", too? Next question wrt. to packaging it, is: Which version to package? The only released versions seem to be based upon rsync 3.0.9 (last included in Debian 7 Wheezy) while rsync itself is at 3.1.2 now. In the master branch there seems to be a version which has currently the working title 3.1.2.beta0. So shall we start with 3.0.9.12 or 3.1.2.beta0? (I tend to stay on the safe side and start with 3.0.9.12, but then we at least should try to apply all security updates against rsync 3.0.9 in Wheezy.)

Hi all, Just a quick message to know if there are some news on the package adoption ?

Hi Ludovic, We've created a packing team for BackupPC and we intend to package Version 4. Let me invite you to join our efforts at https://tracker.debian.org/teams/pkg-backuppc. Otherwise, this ITP is already over one year old, so may ask you whether you still on the packging or whether we can take over this ITP? (If I do not hear from you within one week, I will take over the ITP; of course you can also join our efforts afterwards) Thanks! tobi On Sun, 04 Jun 2017 09:40:06 +0200 Ludovic Drolez wrote: > Package: wnpp > Severity: wishlist > Owner: Ludovic Drolez > > * Package name: backuppc-rsync > Version : 3.0.9.7 > Upstream Author : Craig Barratt > * URL : https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc > * License : GPL > Programming Lang: C > Description : rsync optimised for BackupPC backup utility > > Rsync-bpc is a customized version of rsync that is used as part of > BackupPC, an open source backup system. > > The main change to rsync is adding a shim layer (in the subdirectory > backuppc, and in bpc_sysCalls.c) that emulates the system calls for > accessing the file system so that rsync can directly read/write files > in BackupPC's format. > >

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Ludovic Drolez * Package name: backuppc-rsync Version : 3.0.9.7 Upstream Author : Craig Barratt * URL : https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : rsync optimised for BackupPC backup utility Rsync-bpc is a customized version of rsync that is used as part of BackupPC, an open source backup system. The main change to rsync is adding a shim layer (in the subdirectory backuppc, and in bpc_sysCalls.c) that emulates the system calls for accessing the file system so that rsync can directly read/write files in BackupPC's format.
