bugfix update in Fedora 29 for BackupPC

Status: stable 3 months ago

This release includes a couple of new features (eg, checking inode usage on the BackupPC filesystem) and a few improvements (eg, html table sorting), and several bug fixes:

Merged pull requests #200, #208, #216, #217, #229, #230, #231, #232, #233, #235.
Added checking of file system inode usage, with new configuration settings $Conf{DfInodeUsageCmd} and $Conf{DfMaxInodeUsagePct}.
bin/BackupPC_tarExtract: fixes to hardlink handling on incrementals, plus cleanup
bin/BackupPC_backupDuplicate: fixed directory creation for copying v3 backups.
bin/BackupPC_backupDelete: couple of inode-related bug fixes; also do fsck if $Conf{RefCntFsck} != 0.
bin/BackupPC: fixed handling of dhcp hosts, reported by Jean-Marc.
bin/BackupPC: improved version check of rsync_bpc to allow period before "beta", reported by @ktenney in issue #214.
Added $Conf{EMailAdminSubject} to allow the admin email subject to be set.
Changed default $Conf{CgiDateFormatMMDD} to 2 (YYYY-MM-DD), submitted by @moisseev (#231).
Allow multiple groups in $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup}, submitted by @moisseev (#235).
Improvements to html table sorting, and made more tables sortable, submitted by @brenard and @moisseev (issue #199, PRs #200, #229, #230, #232).
Add action type column to queue status page (#208), submitted by @brenard.
lib/BackupPC/CGI/Summary.pm: host summary only reports age of completed backups (not partial or active), suggested by Michael Selway.
lib/BackupPC/CGI/HostInfo.pm: show active backup as partial if there is no job running (to handle case of abnormal exit of BackupPC), reported by @8666 in issue #220.
systemd/src/backuppc.service: added ExecReload, submitted by @opoplawski (#233).
lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm: empty $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} is no longer fatal; removed remaining mentions of RsyncdAuthRequired from conf/config.pl and lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm; reported by @jooola in issue #224.
bin/BackupPC_dump: moved alarm($Conf{ClientTimeout}) to after all the pre-backup code (including expiry, duplication etc of backups, which could be slow) reprted by Michael Selway.
bin/BackupPC_refCntUpdate: added a couple of bpc_progress_state prints to improve status reporting during nightly (-m), reprted by Michael Selway.
lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm: added Disabled value to host info (copied from $Conf{BackupsDisable}); suggested by @danielmotaleite (issue #222).
lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm: added checks for a couple of common rsync file error and error exit messages that now increment the xferErrs count.
bin/BackupPC_tarExtract: errors related to a particular file are counted as Xfer errors, rather than considered fatal.
bin/BackupPC_dump: added check that $LogFd is defined before using it.
lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm: replaced exit() with POSIX::_exit() so that object destruction is skipped in the child process. This fixes corruption of the compressed XferLOG file if the exec of $Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} fails.
conf/config.pl: updated project home page to https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc in email message footers.

Comment fields support Fedora-Flavored Markdown. Comments are governed under this privacy policy.

Text fields in Bodhi2 support an enhanced version of markdown. This is a cheat sheet for your reference.

You can do headers by underlining or by prefixing with the # character:

This is an H1
=============

This is an H2
-------------

# This is another H1

## This is another H2

You can do blockquotes using email-style prefixes with the > character:

> This is a quotation
> over many lines
> > and it can be nested(!)

Lists work like you'd expect, by prefixing with any of the *, +, or - characters:

Check out this list:

* This
* is
* a list..

You need a blank line between a paragraph and the start of a list for the renderer to pick up on it.

Emphasis can be added like this:

*italics*
_italics_
**bold**
__bold__

You can save your code references from being misinterpreted as emphasis by surrounding them with backtick characters (`):

Use `the_best_function()` and _not_ that crummy one.

Links look like this:

[text](http://getfedora.org)

..but we also support bare links if you just provide a URL.

You can create code blocks by indenting every line of the block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab.

Here is a code block:

    for i in range(4):
        print i
    print "done."

You can reference bug reports by simply writing something of the form tracker#ticketid.

This fixes PHP#1234 and Python#2345

... we will automatically generate links to the tickets in the appropriate trackers in place.

The supported bug tracker prefixes are: (these are all case-insensitive)

Fedora, RHBZ and RH (all point to the Red Hat Bugzilla)
GNOME
KDE
PEAR
PHP
Python

And you can refer to other users by prefixing their username with the @ symbol.

Thanks @mattdm!

This will generate a link to their profile, but it won't necessarily send them a notification unless they have a special FMN rule set up to catch it.

Lastly, you can embed inline images with syntax like this:

![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)
