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. + ldap: + . support HDB backend just as the BDB one, and make message clearer + when no supported backend is found (Closes: #476910) + rdiff: + . 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 + .

Enhanced portability for other platforms + . Added quoting because it was needed to prevent shell expansion, broking the + toint function sometimes (Closes: Trac#11) + . Fixed reportspace option (Closes: Trac#10) + . 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) + . Applied patch from romain.tartiere@healthgrid.org to fix the SSL/TLS options + to be correct, also set TLS to be the default over SSL (Closes: Trac#13) + 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) + .

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) + .

Added example.rsync configuration file + sys: + . Fixed typo breaking things for VServers. + . Fix bug when vrootdir is on its own partition (Closes: #395928) + . Better sfdisk error and output handling: should now properly warn + 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.

Fixed bug in toint(), and thus isnow(), which caused it + 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 + . fixed permission stat call so it uses the --format supported by + coreutils (Closes: #382747) + . Added disk space report option (thanks Adam Kosmin) + handler changes + Added tar handler: + . create tarballs + Added rsnap handler: + . rotated rsync snapshops + . code from paulv@bikkel.org + Added rub handler: + . alternative to rsnap + . code from rhatto@riseup.net + mysql: + .

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 + is done to dereference symlinks anymore, due to incompatibilities + between various readlink versions in this field. + . Removed over zealous vsnames check + . Does not pretend anymore that duplicity can work without + any passphrase + . Support duplicity 0.4.2 (with Debian patches applied; upstream's + 0.4.3 will integrate them); documented how to write sftp-compatible + sshoptions (Closes: #388543) + .

Fix: signing was enabled with symmetric encryption. + changed cron permissions to 644 + changed /etc/backup.d permissions to 0770 (for admingroup) + minor documentation fixes + improved RPM build process allowing 'make rpm-package' and 'make + srpm-package' targets, also fixes permissions on man directories, + cleans up RPM-related files during distclean, and adds default + EDITOR for "autogen.sh -f" if none is set.
