Description:   Opened: 2007-07-08 03:10 0000 
Spaces in file names are evil, but, alas, a fact of life.  FlexBackup acts as
the front-end for the traditional--and not so traditional--*nix archiving
tools, letting you choose your favorite archiving tool from a pretty
comprehensive list:  afio, dump, tar, cpio (archive mode), star, pax, zip, lha,
ar, shar, rsync, and cpio (copy mode).  It's author has handled quoting and/or
escaping for *most* of those, but it's missing in some places where a
space-containing file name may appear is just not complete.

There are issues with FlexBackup's use of the following archiving tools:  ar,
rsync, cpio (copy mode), and lha.  I've got preliminary fixes for rsync and
cpio (copy mode).  The issues with ar seem more fundamental right now, but I'm
still looking at it and lha.

I'm attaching preliminary fixes so that others can test.  Not ready for the
tree yet.

Patch now fixes all backup modes.

Fixed lha and ar,  Had to fix a bug in lha to get it working, so a dependency
on that bug was added to this bug.  Documentation still needs to be updated, as
well.

This is now in Portage as flexbackup-1.2.1-r6 thanks to genstef and the Gentoo
Sunrise team.
