Backup Central

I have picked up maintainership for BackupPC in the Mageia distro. I am
presently preparing to package BackupPC-3.2.1 for Mageia and just
realised that Mageia is missing in the "Unix distros that include
BackupPC" (at
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Supporting_distros).

It would be helpful to potential users if the BackupPC wiki documents
that a BackupPC is also available in this new distro (new, but well out
of its infancy). Do I need to specifically ask somewhere for a
corresponding correction of the wiki page to be done?

Mageia had included BackupPC from the very beginning - initially 3.2.0,
than added a patch with the Debian wrapper (a workaround for launching
the CGI script in spite of the abadon of perl-suid); a Mageia rpm for
3.2.1 will soon become available.

I'm sure that's worth a thread of it's own ... you certainly don't need to
reuse a thread titled "Full backup on tape".

Traditionally, "wiki" means "no, you do the correction". For reasons outside
the BackupPC project, you need editor permissions to edit the BackupPC wiki.
Please create a SourceForge login, send me the name of the login (off-list),
and I'll add you.

Holger

Sorry, I had copied the address from some other email and made some
mistake (difficult to find evidence what I preciseley did wrong). I have
now created an alias for top-posting on this list, that should prevent a
similar accident to happen again. In case there is discussion on the
mageia issue, I suggest to "reply" creating a new thread.
