Peter, please comment *and give it a try* https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/967 still waiting for your feedback on whether the newer bup version suceeds running make test on your machine. This patch also enables make test for the existing version. Marc Weber

I cannot reproduce the failure locally. At least knowing whetherit happens once only or more often would be helpful, which options do I have now? Peter, have you had a chance to give test the build on your machine? Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing list

[Nix-dev] bup - test suite

2013-09-01 Thread Marc Weber
I've updated bup adding two tests: a simple manual one which can be implemented for all backup solutions easily, and I tried activating the make test for bup. The make test succeeded on my machine and on Evgeny Egorochkin's but failed on hydra. Is anybody depending on the tool or do I have a

I no longer use bup. People that do can probably just revert your change locally. I would like to warn you for bup though. I've used it for daily backups for at least half a year. While it never gave any errors, I noticed that repositories broke after some time somehow. As in: they must probably

Hi Marc, Is anybody depending on the tool or do I have a couple of days to investigate? yes, I depend on bup. Or rather, I depend on git-annex, which depends on bup. So it would be great to keep bup in a working state. Take care, Peter ___

Peter, I guess you've missed the point. Even if the new version is stable and the test case works this does not mean that upgrading is stable. So consider commenting on this point, please. Neither does a failing test case mean the new version is less stable then the old - the warnings by
