[BackupPC-devel] [backuppc/backuppc] BackupPC 4.1.2 release

[Raoul Bhatia]

Thanks Craig and everybody who contributed

I've updated the Debian packages for Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 16.10 - you
can find them at
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Build-Your-Own-Packages#downloads
(Sorry, no personal need/time for Ubuntu 17.04 yet)

Feedback appreciated!

Cheers,
Raoul

* Merged pull requests: #93 [1], #94 [2], #97 [3], #102 [4]
* Fixed NetBios lookup of hosts, reported by Doug Lytle.
* Fixed bin/BackupPC_tarExtract and lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Ftp.pm in case where a directory tree is no longer present in a new backup. Reported by Jens Potthast and Matt Bedynek.
* Fixed SCGI when BackupPC is run in non-daemon mode (which is the systemd default starting in 4.1.1).
* $Conf{ClientNameAlias} can now be an array of hostnames; the first one that succeeds ping is used for the backup or restore. From martintamare (#94 [2]).
* Fixed status link in SCGI server, improved the navigation tab (now it doesn't scroll) and some css/html cleanup; from Nicholas Hall (#97 [3]).
* Fixed logic in bin/BackupPC_dump for $Conf{FixedIPNetBiosNameCheck} to prevent netbios name check; from Nicholas Hall (#102 [4]).
* Fixed config editor bug in sub-entries of hash config variables, related to SCGI.
* Fixed rsync restore of a top-level directory when the share is "/", reported by Ray Frush.
* Increased $Conf{FullKeepCnt}[0] by 1 in expiry calculations, so the most recent filled backup effectively isn't counted for expiry. This improves the behavior, particularly when $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1.
* Rsync transfers now use --timeout=$Conf{ClientTimeout} instead of using an alarm based on rsync log output, suggested by ACR.
* added --delete-excluded and --one-file-system to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.
* Removed extra quotes from $Conf{CgiURL} in configure.pl from Alexander Moisseev (#93 [1]). Also added $DestDir to some print messages in configure.pl.
* BackupPC_dump and BackupPC_restore now support the -p option to turn off progress reports. The old -p (inplace) option to BackupPC_tarExtract is now -P.
* Backup directory mtime is now set to the backup endTime.
* Updated FSF address in cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin, reported by TomCat42 (#91 [5]).

Somehow I didn't get the email, strange, unless I accidentally deleted it
but I couldn't find it in Trash or Spam in Gmail...

- added --delete-excluded and --one-file-system to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.

I assume that this update will not happen automatically so if we want these
options added we'll need to do it manually?

Builds complete on my COPR[1] for EPEL and Fedora 25, builds complete in
Fedora proper for F26 and rawhide.

Thanks,
Richard
