[opensuse-factory] kdar / backup software?
Hi, I have install opensuse 10.3 RC1. I can't find kdar, in the dvd, factory, or buildservice. I'm a little surprised. dar and libdar are there. I liked the gui interface that kdar provided. Is there some 'preferred' backup tool in 10.3?

Shame, any chance we could have Kdar reinstated? Steve. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

please try opensuse-kde@ in the future, I almost missed it here :)

The problem is that the kdar gui does not compile anymore with the newer version of libdar we`re shipping now, and it seems noone had time to adopt it to this change. If somebody helps porting it to the new libdar version (which should not be more than a couple of hours of time plus testing), then we could add it again via buildservice and the next opensuse version.

Okay, just for something to do (like I needed the distraction!), I got kdar v2.0.7 (the latest stable version) building with libdar 2.3.5. It seems to work okay, but I have some questions out to the libdar developers list about some of the new stuff. The rpm in the 10.3 repo is for 2.3.4 but I think the changes from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 are minor and should affect kdar in any way. But I'm not really sure where to go from here. The v2 branch hasn't been touched in a couple of years. There seems to be some work being done on a new v3. I suppose I could look into submitting the changes I've made to the v2 branch into the Sourceforge CVS? Or does someone at suse want to take my changes and do something with them to create a new rpm? -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Linux Brain Dump - Linux Notes, HOWTOs and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbraindump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

can you create a buildservice project containing your fixed kdar rpm? alternatively if you can`t do that, can you please send me your src.rpm?

There, now you've done it - zipped right by my knowledge threshold!-) I downloaded the source archive from the kdar web site and got it building. AFAIK, there is no kdar source rpm. The best I could do vis-a-vis a new kdar rpm would be to run checkinstall on the source, as I don't know anything about rpms, really. If a 'checkinstall'ed rpm is good enough for you, I can send it along. Alternatively, I can: 1] Send you my kdar source folder 2] Send you my changed source files and you can integrate the changes into any src rpm that might be around That being said, I'm still waiting on a couple of changes I had to make to get kdar to compile with libdar. I made some wild guesses just to get it to work, but I should make sure the changes are compatible with how people feel like kdar should work. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Linux Brain Dump - Linux Notes, HOWTOs and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbraindump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

ah, please do a diff -ur between the changed source dir and one that you unpacked in parallel that is unmodified, and send me the output (private mail only please).

If anyone needs a guinea pig for kdar, I'm game. ps - please cc: my email address besides the list, since I've been having trouble getting list postings. -Dave On 9/26/07, Dirk Mueller <dmueller@suse.de> wrote:

I'm trying to get on the dar mailing list, as I have a couple of questions as far as getting the best port to the newest version of libdar. But I'm not having any luck, as I don't seem to hear back from my subscribe requests. I have it compiling but a couple of "fixes" were just guesses to try and get it to work, so I'm trying to work those out. -- Jonathan Arnold http://www.buddydog.org Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
