the borgmatic sponsorship request was closed without much explanation...

pykwalify has change their license to remove the good/evil clause, so 
that dependency should now be suitable for Debian. And so I think 
packaging borgmatic should be unblocked now.

Also, I filed this issue on pykwalify to hopefully rectify the license:

borgmatic author here. As a former Debian maintainer and a current 
Debian users, I care about free software too! If you find something like 
pykwalify (YAML validator using a YAML-based or similar schema) with a 
better license, I'd be happy to switch.


Thanks,

Dan

FWIW the borgmatic dependency pykwalify is considered non-free by Debian because
its license contains the "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." 
clause.

Unfortunately, I have not. I figured I don’t really need it myself,
since I’m just running a one-liner from a systemd timer. I may package
it one day though, but feel free to take it over.

Hi.

Out of curiosity, have you made any progress towards packaging borgmatic ?

Thanks in advance.

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Hi

Most of the time, borg (that is package under the name borgbackup) is
used with wrappers that manages archives creation and deletion in a more
convenient way.

One of the most popular borg wrapper is borgmatic, a Python script that
can be configured using YAML files.

borgmatic is available on PyPI and all its dependencies except
pykwalify, a YAML/JSON validator [1], can be found in Debian
repositories.

It would be nice to have it packaged along borg.

Thanks in advance.
