openSUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for rdiff-backup ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2024:0058-1 Rating: moderate References: #1219652 Affected Products: openSUSE Backports SLE-15-SP5 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed. Description: This update for rdiff-backup fixes the following issues: Update to 2.2.6: * FIX: extended variables were not correctly written if content of file hadn't changed and file was read-only (API 201). * FIX: failed parsing of arguments would return code 2 for warnings instead of 1 for errors * FIX: quoting variables where not correctly propagated when set from the command line (API 201). * FIX: some new functions were needed with higher security level and had to be sorted accordingly (API 201). * FIX: test action would fail with empty error message when using API 201 * FIX: timezone was not always correctly calculated in countries with historically changing DST, closes #902 * NEW: add environment variable RDIFF_BACKUP_API_VERSION to artificially modify the API version dictionary, see the man page for details. * NEW: add warning that server will be called with deprecated CLI and how to avoid the corresponding warning (see also the FAQ) * NEW: there is now a weekly release with changelog for intermediate testing available at https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases/tag/weekly * FIX: cross-version issue with 2.0.5 complaining about KeyError restrict_path, closes #872 * FIX: fail gracefully when connection(s) can't be setup e.g. in case of network error, closes #868 Update to 2.2.4: * Only very small code and documentation fixes, hopefully really the last fix release of the stable branch 2.2, before the development effort for v2.4 starts. Update to 2.2.3: * Only small code and documentation fixes and additions, probably the last fix release of the stable branch 2.2, before the development effort for v2.4 starts. * That's embarrassing but the last version still had a glitch and the sdist package `rdiff-backup-2.2.2.tar.gz` didn't contain the pre-rendered man-pages which some packagers requested.
