0.4.3.RC7 Ready for Test

Item posted by Kenneth Loafman <loafman> on Sun 24 Jun 2007 08:06:06 PM UTC.

Lots of changes this time around.  The Debian maintainer, Alexander Zangerl, released a bunch of patches back upstream and there's more to come later.  I thought I would get this one out now.

The promised change to allow password auth in the SSH protocol has been delayed.  So far, its possible to do this under Linux, but not Windows.  To support both would mean a different code base for each.  I'm not sure we want to go that route just yet.

You can download the packages here:

Please give this one a good exercise.  I'm not getting much feedback, so would like to hear how it goes, both good and bad.  We especially need to test the hsi, s3+http, and webdav protocols.

...Thanks,
...Ken

New in v0.4.3.RC7 (2007/06/19)
------------------------------
Bug 20179 - dAniel hAhler:
When errors cause login to fail in FTP, reset and try again.

Patch 6015 -dAniel hAhler:
Better display of traceback when ftpBackend errors out.

Patch 6029 - Alexander Zangerl <az@debian.org>:
http://bugs.debian.org/370206
archive-dir together with incremental backup results in crash. the patch is simple, the code in 0.4.2 did attempt to access strings as objects.

Patch 6031 - Alexander Zangerl <az@debian.org>:
http://bugs.debian.org/369971
there's some problems with unattended encrypted dumps, if the user doesn't want to hand duplicity the gpg passphrase and attempts to work around this by using a local archive dir.  the patch makes it look at a manifest in a local archive dir if gpg doesn't manage to decrypt a remote one (no surprise without a passphrase).

Patch 6032 - Alexander Zangerl <az@debian.org>:
a new feature patch: i've recently gotten annoyed with having
gazillions of 5mb files and therefore added a --volsize option to
allow the user setting the chunk size. the patch is simple and
contains a manpage update as well.

Patch 6033 - Alexander Zangerl <az@debian.org>:
let's add a --help terse usage message and don't just direct the user to the manual. this should come handy if somebody needs to restore stuff without having the manual available.
