Bug 606606 – app-backup/obnam-1.21 version bump

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description RumpletonBongworth 2017-01-20 13:47:38 UTC]

Version 1.21, released 2016-12-29
------------------------------------

* Disable bind-mount detection for `--one-filesystem`.

Version 1.20.3, released 2016-12-15
------------------------------------

* Disable running of yarn tests during a Debian package build. gpg
  sometimes fails, and I have not been able to find out why.

Version 1.20.2, released 2016-10-30
------------------------------------

* Depend on gnupg instead of gpg.

Version 1.20.1, released 2016-10-30
----------------------------------

* Debian packaging change: add dependency on gpg.

Version 1.20, released 2016-10-29
---------------------------------

* The format name for `green-albatross` is renamed to
  `green-albatross-20160813` and will henceforth be renamed every time
  there's a change, to avoid confusing Lars because of backwards
  incompatibilities. When it reaches stability and the on-disk format
  is frozen, it'll be renamed back to a date-less version.

* Those using the experimental green-albatross repository format will
  have to start over with fresh repositories. This release contains
  backwards incompatible changes that mean existing repositories no
  longer work. Sorry, but that's what experimental means.

* A green-albatross change is that the "chunk index" data structure is
  no longer a single blob, and instead it's broken down into smaller
  objects. This avoids keeping all of the chunk indexes in memory at
  once, which should reduce memory use.

* Remi Rampin started updating and continuing the French translation
  of the Obnam manual.

* Lars Wirzenius changed the default so that Obnam reads random data
  when creating encryption key from `/dev/urandom` instead of
  `/dev/random`. The goal is to make it less likely that Obnam stops
  at the key generation stage on machines with little entropy. Set
  `weak-random = no` in your configuration to override this.

Minor changes:

* Lars Wirzenius changed `obnam forget` so that if there is nothing to
  do, it doesn't even try to connect to the repository.

* Lars Wirzenius added a chapter on participating in the Obnam project
  to the manual.

* Lars Wirzenius changed `--one-file-system` to work for bind mounts.
  It only works for bind mounts that exist at the time when Obnam
  starts, however. Also, `/proc/mounts` must be an accurate list of
  mount points.

* Lars Wirzenius added the gpg command line to the error message about
  gpg failing.

Bug fixes:

* The manual and manual page used to claim you could break only the
  locks for one client. This was not true. The manuals has been fixed.

* A whole bunch of typo fixes, from Andrea Gelmini.

* Michel Alexandre Salim fixed a bug in the FUSE (obnam mount) plugin,
  which was a typo in a method name (`get_clientgeneration_ids`).

* Lars Wirzenius fixed `obnam restore` to require a target set with
  `--to`. Jonathan Dowland reported the problem.

* Lars Wirzenius fixed `obnam list-errors` so that it doesn't crash on
  error classes that only exist to make the exception hierarchy
  neater, such as `EncryptionError`. Bug reported by Rik Theys.

* Ian Cambell fixed a bug in `obnam kdirstat` and its handling of FIFO
  sockets.

Oops. I went and picked the one machine where eix-sync wasn't working on a schedule ...

Sorry to have troubled you.
