Packaging

Hello!
Bup is not in the new Ubuntu 20.04 packaging archive.
Is it possible to upload to Ubuntu or package bup as a Flatpak etc?
Thanks!

Good question...

That might be because we don't yet officially support Python 3, but we should be close. The current work is in the tmp/proposed branch, which will probably be incorporated soon, in preparation for a release.

Hello,

I am trying to install the 0.31 version in Kubuntu 20.04 as "Python 3 is now supported".

I am using 'make install' but am getting errors.
Sorry, I cannot decode them.
What do I need to do?
Thanks.

Alternative till it's supported is to use docker:

Dockerfile

FROM debian:jessie-slim

RUN apt update && \
    apt install -y bup && \
    rm -rf /var/cahce/apt && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists

ENTRYPOINT [ "/usr/bin/bup" ]

create a shell script called bup in your path with the following:

docker run \
    -v $BUP_DIR:/root/backup/dot-bup:rw \
    -v /restore:/restore:rw \
    --rm bup \
    -d /root/backup/dot-bup \
    "$@"

Then you can use as BUP_DIR=/path/to/your/bup/dir bup ls then to restore BUP_DIR=/path/to/your/bup/dir bup restore -C /restore/

an alternative to bup is borg, hope it helps create backups till this is sorted out.
