- rearranged source so that it is relocatable with autotools
- (thanks to Petr Klíma petr.klima@madeta-group.cz)
- fixed many bugs in rdiff helper
- rdiff handler does not require 'label' (for real this time?)
- added makecd ninjahelper

- changed subversion handler to use svnadmin hotcopy instead of
- the unsupported hot-copy.py script, which was moved in Debian
- update rdiff ninjahelper
- now detects and auto-install rdiff-backup on the remote

version 0.6 -- June 16 2005
- ldap handler has new options: backup method to use (ldapsearch or
- slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method

- NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
- you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
- ******************************************************************
- implemented fix so that the main script will echo fatal errors rather
- than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour
- if there is a major configuration problem (not a handler problem)
- added vserver support to main script and to the handlers: mysql, svn, sys, rdiff
- changes to duplicity handler (thanks intrigeri!):
- "keep = yes" now disables file cleaning on desthost
- added "sign" option for backups signing
- added "encryptkey" option to specify the gpg key to use
- split config into [source], [gpg] and [dest] sections

- added "bandwidthlimit" option
- example.dup example config file for duplicity handler
- added trac (http://trac.edgewall.com/) environment handler (thanks Charles Lepple!)
- added configfile option to mysql handler
- the default is /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. with this,
- sqldump doesn't need dbusername. (hotcopy still does).
- fixed bug in mysql handler which caused some passwords to not work.
- (.my.cnf files now have double quotes around password)
- can now pass options to hwinfo and sfdisk in sys handler.
