-version 0.9.7 -- UNRELEASED
- backupninja changes
- . fix bug in reportspace, thanks Dan Garthwaite
- . do not assume English locale when using date (Closes: #465837)
- . add 'when = manual' option, that can be used in the global config
- file or in a given backup action file. Thanks Tuomas Jormola for the
- preliminary patch (Closes: #511299)
- handler changes
- maildir:
- . fix location of deleted_on file
- . add missing destid_file options to ssh connections
- mysql:
- . Options passed to mysqldump are now customizable with the new
- sqldumpoptions configuration variable. Thanks to Chris Lamb for his
- preliminary patch (Closes: #502966)
- . Hide 'mysqladmin ping' output, to prevent confusing the user in
- case mysqld is running but the authentication fails, which apparently
- does not prevent mysqldump to work.
- . Fix the error message displayed when mysqld is not running:
- mysqladmin ping indeed returns 0 when authentication fails.
- sys:
- . New luksheaders option (default=disabled) to backup the Luks header
- of every Luks device.
- . New lvm option (default=disabled) to backup LVM metadata for every
- detected volume group.
- . Backup dmsetup info as well, for easier restoring of Luks headers.
-
-version 0.9.6 -- July 21, 2008
- backupninja changes
- . fix bug in cstream definition, thanks Jamie McClelland
- . Allow the entire backup run to be halted by an action, thanks to
- Matthew Palmer (Closes: #455836)
- . Fixed tr construct reporting a warning (Closes: #452669)
- lib changes
- vserver:
- . added vservers_running function
- tools
- . mktemp is now required to run backupninja, removed less secure
- fall-back if mktemp did not exist on the system
- handler changes
- dup:
- . General cleanup
- . Better support for new duplicity (>= 0.4.4) command line syntax:
- run remove-older-than when $keep is not set to yes (Closes: #458816),
- and run "duplicity cleanup" before any other duplicity command; both
- only trigger a warning on failure, since they should not stop backups
- from being done. Also migrated full/incremental backup switch to the
- new syntax.
- . Support every duplicity-supported transport with new configuration
- option desturl (Closes: #483712, #346040, Trac#2).
- . Actually allow to backup only VServers, by relaxing $include test.
- . Set secure permissions on tmpdir when creating it.

- . Fixed ignore_version default value missing
- . Add patch from Matthew Palmer to rdiff handler to incorporate sshoptions
- into options via remote-schema not already specified (Closes: #424639)
- wget:
- . New handler from rhatto designed to incrementally pull content from
- a website to a local folder, based on the rsync handler
- maildir:
- . fixed bug where maildirs that start with a number were skipped
- . make maildir helper look in every subdirectory of the source directory for
- maildirs, rather than just looking in the directories [a-zA-Z0-9], thanks
- for the patch from chris@cenolan.com (Trac#43).
- . make deleted maildirs record the date they were deleted
- . add destid_file configuration option to enable you to specify an alternate
- ssh public key authentication file (defaulting to /root/.ssh/id_rsa)
- pgsql, mysql, svn, sys:
- . use new vservers_running function from lib/vserver (factorization++)
- sys:
- . update for 2.6 kernels: use /proc/kallsyms instead of /proc/ksyms
- (Closes: Trac#39)
- . support selection of VServers to run on, in the same way as in the
- dup handler, with the new vsnames configuration option ; (Closes: Trac#45)
- . add support for capturing the package debconf selection states using
- debconf-get-selections
- . fixed catifexec function to actually work, also now passes the arguments
- given to catifexec() to the called command (Thanks John Hallam!)
- . Added more robust software RAID information capture by running mdadm
- -Q --detail /dev/md?* because some people may have empty mdadm.conf files
- (Thanks to John Hallam).
- trac:
- . stop failing on all the trac backups if just one fails, this means
- removing the temporary trac backup directories if they fail
- makecd
- . updated handler for new toolset (genisoimage and wodim)
-
-version 0.9.5 -- December 2, 2007
- backupninja changes

- toint function sometimes (Closes: Trac#11)

- . Fixed ldap handler not recognizing database suffix (Closes: Trac#28)
- handler changes
- dup:
- . Support duplicity >= 0.4.3 invocation syntax (--ssh-command option
- is not supported anymore) (Closes: #447425)
- . New tmpdir configuration option, very useful in case duplicity tends
- to fill up /tmp.
- ldap:
- . Fixed shell command quoting issues, missing 'then' clauses, cleaned up
- compress=yes to be less redundant and not create empty uncompressed
- file (Closes: #394935)
- . Fixed ninjahelper to properly set compress option, standardized on yes/no
- instead of on/off
- . Fixed problem that caused combination of slapcat and compress to not work
- together (Closes: Trac#29)

- maildir:
- . Added an examples file (Closes: Trac#23)
- . Applied patch from Anarcat that fixes the cp/mkdir calls to not use GNU
- coreutils options, as well as some bashisms (Closes: Trac#24)
- . Fix test mode (Closes: Trac#25)
- mysql:
- . Fixed case where odd combination of configuration options caused sqldump
- backups to get overwritten with an empty file (Closes: #402679)
- . Added 'nodata' option to enable you to specify tables that you want to omit
- the data from a backup, but still backup the table structure. This is very
- useful in cases where tables contain large amounts of cache data. See the
- example.mysql for options, thanks Daniel Bonniot (Closes: #408829)
- . Enhance code for selecting databases by asking MySQL not to give us the
- header (-N), to not draw pretty boxes around the output (-B), send the query
- via -e instead of a pipe and ensure MySQL listens to -B. Thanks to
- Matthew Palmer (Closes: #452039).
- pgsql:
- . Support configuring PGSQLUSER for real, and document it a bit; this
- broken support actually prevented pgsql handler to work for VServers
- (Closes: #396578)
- rdiff-backup:
- . Added cstream support to allow for bandwidth limiting
- . Handle "keep = yes" to disable old backups removal (Closes: #424633)

- when it does not manage to backup a partition table, and shut up when
- it succeeds (Closes: #396632)
- . Added option to not use sfdisk at all, useful for vserver/xen instances
- that produce warnings about no harddisks found (Closes: #404071)
- . Fixed example in example.sys to detail the __star__ in partitionsfile and
- note why its necessary (Closes: #409192)
- . Force C locale for sfdisk to ensure english words are found in grep
- . Make directory where output is placed configurable, and create the parent dir
- if it doesn't exist (Closes: Trac#1)
- ninjareport
- . Added first draft of method to aggregate reports from many servers into
- one email. Requires logtail, rsync, configuration of reporthost,
- reportdirectory and reportuser in backupninja.conf. Configure cron to
- run once a day, and individual backupninjas not to report by email their
- status, then enjoy one email report from all hosts, rather than multiple
- fixed 'make install' bug that failed if /etc/backup.d already existed
- changed spaces to tabs in Makefile.am
- updated redhat spec file (thanks Adam Monsen)
-

- to not work when run from cron.
- . Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: #361102)
- . Add admingroup option to configuration to allow a group that can
- read/write configurations (instead of only allowing root). Checks
- and complains about group-readable files only when the group differs
- from the one in the configuration file (default is root as before).
- Thanks to Martin Krafft for the patch (Closes: #370396).
- . When determining which backup actions to make, find now follows
- symlinks for $configdirectory
- . Changed order of -s to mail for compatibility

- svn:
- . Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check
- rdiff:
- . Symlink and globbing support in include/exclude/vsinclude
- clarification: globbing is fully supported again, whereas no attempt
- is done to dereference symlinks anymore, due to incompatibilities
- between various readlink versions in this field.
- . Removed overzealous vsnames check
- . Now works if testconnect=no and if $test is not defined.
- . add $sshoptions config parameter in [dest] section of config so
- connections to ports other than 22 can be made by adding the
- following to the top of the handler config:
- options = --remote-schema 'ssh -p REMOTE-PORT -C %s rdiff-backup
- --server'
- dup:
- . Symlink and globbing support in include/exclude/vsinclude
- clarification: globbing is fully supported again, whereas no attempt

- between various readlink versions in this field.
- . Removed over zealous vsnames check
- . Does not pretend anymore that duplicity can work without
- any passphrase

- . When determining which backup actions to list, find now follows
- symlinks for $configdirectory
- . Stop checking helpers perms: both "make install" and distros packages
- install them with appropriate permissions, it's overzealous to check
- this at runtime, and is more complicated to do with current
