From ftplicity
Changelog / TODO
Latest release is duply_1.5.10 .
##############################################################################
TODO/IDEAS/KNOWN PROBLEMS:
- possibility to restore time frames (incl. deleted files)
realizable by listing each backup and restore from
oldest to the newest, problem: not performant
- search file in all backups function and show available
versions with backups date (list old avail since 0.6.06)
- edit profile opens conf file in vi
- implement log-fd interpretation
- add a duplicity option check against the options pending
deprecation since 0.5.10 namely --time-separator
--short-filenames
--old-filenames
- add 'exclude_<command>' list usage eg. exclude_verify
- a download/install duplicity option
- bug: on key import it tries to import again and fails because
of already existing key, probably caused by legacy gpgkey
- hint on install software if a piece is missing
- featreq 2995409: Prevent concurrent runs for same profile
- featreq 3042778: check success of commands and react in batches
e.g. backup_AND_verify_AND_purge, pre_and_bkp_and_post
- import/export profile from/to .tgz function !!!

aid=2864410&group_id=217745&atid=1041147
1.5.1 (21.09.2009) - duply (fka. ftplicity)
- first things first: ftplicity (being able to support all backends since
some time) will be called duply (fka. ftplicity) from now on. The addendum
is for the time being to circumvent confusion.
- bugfix: exit code is 1 (error) not 0 (success), if at least on duplicity
command failed
- s3[+http] now supported natively by translating user/pass to access_key/
secret_key environment variables needed by duplicity s3 boto backend
- bugfix: additional output lines do not confuse version check anymore
- list command supports now age parameter (patch by stefan on feature
request tracker)
- bugfix: option/param pairs are now correctly passed on to duplicity
- bugfix: s3[+http] needs no TARGET_PASS if command is read only

group_id=217745
1.5.0 (01.07.2009)
- removed ftp limitation, all duplicity backends should work now
- bugfix: date for separator failed on openwrt busybox date, added a
detecting workaround, milliseconds are not available w/ busybox date
1.4.2.1 (14.05.2009)
- bugfix: free temp space detection failed with lvm, fixed awk parse routine
1.4.2 (22.04.2009)
- gpg keys are now exported as gpgkey.[id].asc , the suffix reflects the
armored ascii nature, the id helps if the key is switched for some reason
im/export routines are updated accordingly (import is backward compatible
to the old profile/gpgkey files)
- profile argument is treated as path if it contains slashes
(for details see usage)
- non-ftplicity options (all but --preview currently) are now passed
on to duplicity
- removed need for stat in secure_conf, it is ls based now
- added profile folder readable check
- added gpg version & home info output
- awk utility availability is now checked, because it was mandatory already
- tmp space is now checked on writability and space requirement
test fails on less than 25MB or configured $VOLSIZE,
test warns if there is less than two times $VOLSIZE because
that's required for --asynchronous-upload option
- gpg functionality is tested now before executing duplicity
test drive contains encryption, decryption, comparison, cleanup
this is meant to detect non trusted or other gpg errors early
- added possibility of doing symmetric encryption with duplicity
set GPG_KEY="" or simply comment it out
- added hints in config template on the depreciation of
--short-filenames, --time-separator duplicity options
new versioning scheme 1.4.2b => 1.4.2,
beta b's are replaced by a patch count number e.g. 1.4.2.1 will be assigned
to the first bug fixing version and 1.4.2.2 to the second and so on
also the releases will now have a release date formatted (Day.Month.Year)
1.4.1b1 - bugfix: ftplicity changed filesystem permission of a folder
named exactly as the profile if existing in executing dir
- improved plausibility checking of config and profile folder
- secure_conf only acts if needed and prints a warning now
1.4.1b - introduce status (duplicity collection-status) command
- pre/post script output printed always now, not only on errors
- new config parameter GPG_OPTS to pass gpg options
added examples & comments to profile template conf
- reworked separator times, added duration display
- added --preview switch, to preview generated command lines
- disabled MAX_AGE, MAX_FULL_BACKUPS, VERBOSITY in generated
profiles because they have reasonable defaults now if not set
1.4.0b1 - bugfix: incr forces incremental backups on duplicity,
therefore backup translates to pre_bkp_post now
- bugfix: new command bkp, which represents duplicity's
default action (incr or full if full_if_older matches
or no earlier backup chain is found)
new versioning scheme 1.4 => 1.4.0, added new minor revision number
this is meant to slow down the rapid version growing but still keep
versions cleanly separated.
only additional features will raise the new minor revision number.
all releases start as beta, each bugfix release will raise the beta
count, usually new features arrive before a version 'ripes' to stable
1.4.0b
1.4b - added startup info on version, time, selected profile

- command full does not execute pre/post anymore
use batch command pre_full_post if needed
