Bug#311567: status update
Hi, meanwhile I found a sponsor but we decided to wait for the first upstream bugfix release (wmii-1.1) before uploading wmii to debian. It is scheduled for June 20. but those who waited for wmii-1 know: Don't take the proposed release date too serious ;) If you are interested in the wmii-1 deb get it from: deb http://wegi.net/debian unstable/ Christoph pgpJiKkyfCeO5.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#248048: wmi ITP
On Wed, Jun 01, 2005 at 10:49:00PM -0700, Matt Taggart wrote: as wmi is dead and it's successor wmii was released yesterday I'm going to close this bug. Would it be useful to have both in Debian? Is wmii stable enough yet? Is there any reason people would prefer wmi over wmii? Sorry I didn't get to this yet. wmi is not maintained any longer and quite buggy (mostly smaller annoying ones). wmii do have it's share of bugs too. There should be roughly 2 major releases/year, and additionally minor bugfix releases of the current major version as they are needed. That means that after the release yesterday many bugs will be discovered due to the broader audience, which will result in a bugfix release soon. IMHO It is already mature enough for unstable. wmii is different then wmi and requires some learning in the beginning. All in all one can emulate the wmi behaviour close enough that I think all/most people will switch sooner or later. I don't think the remaining ones justify to add an unmaintained, upstream death, buggy package into debian. There is an unofficial debian repo for them: deb http://wegi.net/debian unstable/ I'll take a look when I get a chance. If someone beats me to it that's fine too.

Meanwhile you can use the deb which is offered on http://rsnapshot.org/downloads which is the one to be uploaded. It might be worth mentioning that debian is not affected by this security issue, at least in the default configuration. The problem is in a part of the code which is a workaround for a missing GNU cp. As debians cp _is_ GNU cp the following line in rsnapshot.conf is uncommented by default: cmd_cp /bin/cp There is no reason to comment that line on a debian installation, so only few debian users might be affected.

Bug#298618: some informations
Some information was exchanged on this bug which didn't made it in the bts, so for the record: Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2005 20:18:55 +0100 From: Christoph Wegscheider [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Charles, the behaviour you requested might not always be wanted. I'll give you an example: My hdd died recently and the replacement disk needs some days to ship. So I grabbed an old, very small hdd and set up my system again. On this hdd there were no space for my digital images which I backed up with rsnapshot. I restored the rest and commented out the backup line for the images. My backups just continued as usual and as soon as the new hdd was shipped I copied the system, restored my images and uncommented the image backup line in rsnapshot.conf With the behaviour you requested I would have been in trouble, cause my images would have been deleted. I just want to say, that both ways of handling this have it's advantages. I would prefer the current behaviour as automatic deletion of backups sounds (and might be) very dangerous. However, I forwarded your bug to the upstream author (Nathan), he's the decision maker. (Nathan, please cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your answer) btw. If you wanna delete a backup point just delete it under hourly.0, and rsnapshot will stop to backup it (of course you have to also remove the line in the configfile). Christoph Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2005 11:34:25 -0800 From: Nathan Rosenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi everyone, For the record: I do not wish to change the default behaviour. My reason, however, is a different one than Christoph mentioned (although I think that's a good one too). It is possible to specify directories more than one level deep as backup points. Therefore, rsnapshot really has no way of knowing whether it would be OK to delete something or not. For example, consider this situation: backup /usr/local/apache/ localhost/ backup /usr/local/samba/ localhost/ How would rsnapshot reliably know to descend down into /usr/local/ and remove a directory that was no longer being backed up? Worse still, a user could specify /usr/local/ as another backup point (possibly with exclusions). What I _do_ hope to implement in the future is an rm method of rsnapshot, to semi-automate deletion of old backup points from the lowest interval's .0 directory. I.E. rsnapshot rm localhost/usr/local/samba/ would clear out /.snapshots/hourly.0/localhost/usr/local/samba. Thanks, -Nathan pgpmB8uKFOEz8.pgp Description: PGP signature
