version 0.9.2 -- unreleased fixed missing makecd.helper in Makefile.am/.in rdiff ninjahelper bugfixes: used to expand '*' in default source directories version 0.9.1 -- November 05 2005 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 (thanks to Stefani stefani@riseup.net) made ninjahelper create files with mode 600 rather than 000 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 machine if possible, also tests the remote backup directory and offers to create it if it doesn't exist version 0.9 -- October 19 2005 *** IMPORTANT CHANGE, UPGRADE AT ONCE *** fixed insecure temporary file creation ***************************************** removed erroneous magic file marker in pgsql handler fixed incorrect find positional changed direct grep of /etc/passwd to getent passwd. rdiff helper has much better information on failed ssh attempt (patch from cmccallum@thecsl.org). rdiff handler now supports remote source and local dest. (patch from cmccallum@thecsl.org). man pages are greatly improved. version 0.8 -- September 15 2005 added pgsql (PostgreSQL) handler, with vservers support. added vservers support to duplicity handler Note: the configuration is a bit different than the rdiff handler's one, but the default behavior is the same: have a look at example.dup. improved README documented .disabled method. corrected VROOTDIR default value. added ninjahelper to the install instructions. improved rdiff, dup and sys handlers' vservers support prevent vserver-debiantools' $VROOTDIR/ARCHIVES directory to be seen as a vserver changes to sys handler make use of configurable $VSERVERINFO instead of hard-coded vserver-info. fixed dpkg existence test inside vserver. fixed $nodpkg use. changes to pgsql handler now checks if the specified vserver is running. now checks if $PGSQLDUMP/$PGSQLDUMPALL are available where needed. now checks if "postgres" user exists on the host/vserver. changes to ninjahelper check_perms() does not die anymore on group/world readable helper scripts (now consistent with the "helper scripts must not be group or world writable!" error msg). xedit action now tries $EDITOR, then /etc/alternatives/editor, then nano, vim and vi, and aborts if none of these exists. added helper for pgsql handler. rdiff handler now does not require 'label' changes to mysql and svn handlers' vservers support these handlers now check if the source vserver is running added 'ignores' for mysql handler. (thanks Daniel.Bonniot@inria.fr) version 0.7 -- July 26 2005 added ninjahelper: a dialog based wizard for creating backupninja configs. considerably improved and changed the log file output. you can now disable actions with .disabled (this is new preferred method). added makecd handler and example.makecd for backing up to cd/dvd (thanks stef). fixed bug when specifying multiple 'when' options. 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 is set to ldapsearch as this is safer ****************************************************************** 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 "nicelevel" option added "testconnect" option added "sshoptions" option (will be passed to ssh/scp) 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. version 0.5 -- April 12 2005 rdiff handler works when remote sshd has a banner rdiff handler supports local dest logfile is created if it doesn't exist added "when = hourly" added optional 'nicelevel' to rdiff handler fixed bug where actions were not run in numeric order. improved 'when' parsing. version 0.4.4 -- March 18 2005 results of handlers are now read line by line. changes to rdiff handler: added "options", and "keep" is not necessarily days now (ie, it will pass straight through to rdiff-backup if the keep has a unit on it, otherwise it adds the 'D'). added dup handler (still pretty beta) added maildir handler (very specialized handler) added --run option (runs the specified action file) improved sys handler, now uses hwinfo added subversion hotbackup handler, svn. added PATH to cron.d file, which fixes file not found errors. version 0.4.2 -- Jan 6 2005 fixed bug which caused a report email to be sent even if no actions were run. fixed bug where multiple handler status messages were ignored added status in the subject line of report emails version 0.4.1 -- Jan 3 2005 added $usecolors and now more conservative about when colors are echoed. fixed major bug, 'when' actually works now. replaced debug function with debug, info, warning, error, fatal. added --now option to force all actions to be performed now. version 0.4 -- Dec 26 2004 added "when" option, so that all configs can specify when they are to be run. added reportsuccess and reportwarning config options added .sys handler (hardware, packages, partitions). version 0.3.4 -- Dec 8 2004 fixed numerical variable quoting compatibility with older wc fixed stderr redirect bug some comments in example.rdiff version 0.3.3 -- Nov 10 2004 '*' (asterisk) works now in rdiff config files works now with gawk as well as mawk many bug fixes to ldap handler paths to helper scripts can be configured in global config does not require /usr/bin/stat version 0.3.2 -- Sept 29 2004 handler scripts are no longer executable (to comply with debian policy) handler error and warning messages are sent with the notify email version 0.3.1 -- Sept 5 2004 added ldap handler moved sh support to a handler script add test mode, where no action is taken. added --help force only root can read /etc/backup.d/* fixed missing equals symbols in example.rdiff changed backupninja executable to be /usr/sbin rather than /usr/bin version 0.3 -- Oct 20 2004 ** IMPORTANT ** all config files are now ini style, not apache style rewrote all scripts in bash for portability added drop-in backupninja lib directory (/usr/share/backupninja) all scripts are now run as root version 0.2 -- Oct 14 2004 move distribution folder ./cron.d to ./etc/cron.d fixed bug: removed printr of excludes (!) added support for changing the user/group in rdiff sources. added support for .mysql config files. version 0.1 -- Oct 8 2004 initial release
