It's a small and userfriendly backup tool written in Python using 'rdiff' and with optional KDE4 and GNOME GUI's. From its website: Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux inspired from “flyback project” and “TimeVault”. The backup is done by taking snapshots of a specified set of directories. It'd be great if Gentoo users had (even) more choice and this backup app was included in portage.
Created an attachment (id=189594) [details] backintime-0.9.22.ebuild After I convienced Back in Time's author to write a Makefile, I finally succeeded in writing a working ebuild! It works, execpt for the USE="gnome", because there is no python-glade2 ebuild in Portage, which is needed for the GNOME GUI. The USE="kde" works just fine though :]
OK, I just noticed that my ebuild doesn't force the USE flag(s) onto the configuration script of the source. Basically they get ignored (the 'kde' flag as well) and the configuratio script just chooses what it finds (e.g. KDE if it's installed, wheter there's a USE flag set or not). I'll have to improve my ebuilding skills to get it working right, I suppose :P
(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug) 'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached to this bug. This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the main tree. Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild. Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Jeremy.

Created an attachment (id=192035) [details] backintime-0.9.26.ebuild I rewrote the ebuild of version 0.9.22 a bit for the current newest version 0.9.26. It should now also support the kde and gnome use flags properly. The gnome version works fine on x86 but I don't have kde4 installed so I can't test that.
Apparently Back in Time doesn't work with rsync 3.0.5 if that's compiled without the xattr use flag because rsync crashes. I don't know if that's a bug in rsync or if Back in Time wouldn't work even if rsync didn't crash.
(In reply to comment #4) > Created an attachment (id=192035) [edit] [details] > backintime-0.9.26.ebuild I just tested your ebuild for my ~x86, KDE4 system. Here are my comments: - I change ebuild dependency from ">= kde-base/kde-4" to ">=kde-base/kdelibs-4" since "kde-base/kde-4" cannot be found. - The KDE menu entry for "backintime (root)" does not start up because it wants to use kdesudo which actually must be kdesu (possibly upstream bug) - Why am I forced to enable the webkit use flag for PyQt4?
Thanks for testing it. I have submitted a bugreport regarding kdesudo. A quick fix for it would be to create a symlink from kdesudo to kdesu (they should be compatible). The webkit useflag comes from pykde. I don't know why it's in there but there's probably a reason for it.

(In reply to comment #9) > ... I can't reproduce that error on my system. I guess it might have something to do with different portage versions (I'm using 2.1.6.13). I won't upgrade to 2.2 yet so I can't really test it. Some things you could try: 1) add EAPI="2" to the beginning of the ebuild 2) remove [xattr] from the ebuild and build rsync with the xattr use flag I would also like to know the output of "emerge -pv rsync".
(In reply to comment #11) > 1) add EAPI="2" to the beginning of the ebuild this solved the problem for me, thanks!
app-backup/backintime is now in cvs. thanks for your contribution. have fun! Thilo
