This release contains the source code only but no distro packages.
To install the new release from the source code please follow our build & installation instructions
qt5_probing.py
may hang with high CPU usage when running BiT as root
via cron
Important note for package maintainers:
We are now using absolute paths to python3
which may impact how you build your package.
You can you use ./configure --python=PYTHON_PATH
to configure this.
rsync
exit code 23: Ignore instead of error now (part of #1587)rsync transfer failures (experimental)
to find them easier (they are normally not shown as "error").
This feature is experimental because it is based on hard-coded error message strings in the rsync source code
and may possibly not find all rsync messages or show false positives.configure
does delete old installed files (qt4plugin.py
and net.launchpad.backintime.serviceHelper.conf
) that were renamed or moved in a previous release (#1596)qtsystrayicon.py
, qt5_probing.py
, usercallbackplugin.py
and all parts of app.py
do now also use "backintime" as logging namespace in the syslog to ensure complete log output with journalctl | grep -i backintime
