duplicity 2.1.4-1 (TEST)

[Libor Ukropec via Cygwin-announce]

The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution as a test 
release:

* duplicity-2.1.4-1

Duplicity backs directories by producing encrypted tar-format
volumes and uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity
uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only record
the parts of files that have changed since the last backup. Because duplicity
uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from
spying and/or modification by the server.


This package is the latest upstream version. After some testing period it will be moved 
from test to release. Any feedback is appreciated.

For changes see https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity/-/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

Please send questions or concerns to the main Cygwin mailing list as usual.

Yes, 2023 (where ? stands for some digit) is bigger than any of the numbers 
in the range 4...13.


Epochs are supported (theoretically), but I don't think you need to use them 
here.


...and hopefully they ignore the sequential number.


Again, the question isn't about the meaning that a person ascribes to the 
version number (because you can't reasonably expect people to examine every 
package in detail), it's about the actions that setup will automatically take.



Just to be clear about the process details and best practice:

I should create a dummy local dist tree for superseded versions,
with the tar file names prefixed with "-" and zero length,


You don't need to do this.  This removes files (which I think you have already 
done)



and P-V-R.hint files replaced with override.hint files,
each containing "replace-versions: V-R..." for old versions,
then sftp upload that dist tree in a similar manner to cygport upload?


Yes.

But if you are really going to upload a 6.4-2023MMDD sometime soon (or anything 
greater than 6.4-13, in fact), you don't need to bother, because that does 
supersede the removed test versions (and so any installation of them will get 
upgraded).


Thanks Jon,

I probably will do that in future.

For the inevitable future messes, wanted to build and test a script to make a 
package obsolete with dummy files, which will replicate the current package dist 
tree with each .hint replicated by replace-versions: ... override.hint and all 
other (tar) files replaced with a zero length minus prefixed basename, uploaded 
and readied by lftp.


I managed to run, test, and clean up, before my ISP connection went flakely.

I'm going to release Perl 5.36.1 to Cygwin in a few days.  I've skipped
5.34 in order to update only every second year (which I've done since

distribution packages from the update even though there are lots of
them that haven't been updated since at least 5.22.  So I hope it will
be smooth sailing for anything else depending on Perl also.

Any maintainer having packages that depend on perl5_032 should
re-release or upgrade these soon-ish after the Perl update is available,
as otherwise users are either blocked from upgrading Perl or will have
to uninstall the affected packages.  The rebuilt packages need to have a
dependency on perl5_036, which cygport provides automatically.


There's an updated report available [1], which should list the affected 
packages.

Hi Jari,

Is it possible to get a rebuild/update of pristine-tar and sendxmpp for 
perl5.36?


TIA.

I'm guessing the Permissions glitch resulted from some local

Hi, Jon.

I'll update openbabel packages soon, but the packages could have same
problems as in 3.1.1p36-3 (Some tests failed).

[3.1.1p36-3]:
