backup-manager is backup management script writed in shell script. It support tarball and also subverion repository and mysql and pipe. for upload method, it supports scp, ftp, rsync. It's very useful to person who's lazy for wrting his own backup script - like me :)
Created attachment 82444 [details] backup-manager ebuild
Created attachment 82445 [details, diff] patch for Makefile
Created attachment 82862 [details, diff] diff to previous ebuild (attachment 82444 [details]) Nice to see this bug, since I was just going to have a look at backup-manager too. Attaching a little diff to your ebuild, mainly moving the einfo to pkg_postinst and adding user-guide.txt depending on 'doc' use flag Please keep in mind that I don't have commit access to the tree since I'm just a security dev with low ebuild skills, so this is more a private post :)

For the record: I'm not using this package, neither do I intend to. So taking this package for me means I have no clue what I'm shipping in.
I haven't used it yet either, but I was going to try it out while looking for an easy backup solution. So actually I have no clue about it either atm. About sec maintainership, in case I do turn out to use and/or like it, I wouldn't mind keeping an eye on it, but I myself have no commit access nor did I really write ebuilds up to now. Although I wouldn't mind taking the quizzes etc some day I guess. I think I'll have a look at the package and get back to you if you don't mind.
Created attachment 83428 [details, diff] fix of backup-manager-upload execution
Created attachment 83429 [details, diff] bzip2 path fix
I use this tool for backuping on my gentoo servers. Thank you for this ebuild! Ebuild works OK, but there are some errors in working backup-manager itselft on gentoo system. I have created two patch, which resolved these problems: first is in execution of backup-manager-upload and sesond is wrong path to the bzip2. Please take a look at this patches and include if it makes sense.
Backup bugs for evaluation by app-backup team.
In the future when there are changes to the submitted ebuild please mark the old one obsolte and upload a new ebuild. It saves time for the devs so we don't have to download two things and run patch. Please also submit diffs as unified diffs (pass -u to diff), e.g., attachment 83428 [details, diff].
In CVS, thanks.
