backup-manager 0.5.5 released

December 7th, 2004

Hey ! here is the 0.5.5 release :D

The 0.5.5 release is focused on cleaning the output and on enhancing the user interaction. A lot of minor bugfixes have also been done.

Moreover, this release is the first to use gettext for internationalization. English and French languages are now supported (German and Spanish will be in 0.5.6).

Some minor new features have also been added:

  • A blacklist of directories that won’t be archived.
  • An option to say if symlinks will be dereferenced.
  • A cleaning system for purging recursively each old archive in the archives repositry.

For the Debian systems, all the debconf part has aslo been cleaned, most of questions are not set to low priority in order to avoid confusing the user. The full configuration of backup-manager is still handled by dpkg-reconfigure though (including new features).

The online help message and the manpage has been written from scratch again. It’s now compliant with the new backup-manager’s command line.

Debian, backup-manager
