[Bug 86836] Re: backuppc package in feisty is outdated

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

It seems the only way to get backuppc in feisty now is to make a backport :)
Ubuntu-backporters, please make a backuppc backport - current feisty version of backuppc is not user-friendly, while version from gutsy has these improvements:

BackupPC 3.0.0 has quite a few new features, including:

* New configuration and host CGI editor (in feisty version the only way
to configure backuppc is to edit config files manually:( ).

* Support for multi-level incrementals.

* Added RSS support from Rich Duzenbury.

* Server file names are now in utf8 and optional conversion to/from
client name charsets can be configured. All CGI pages now use the utf8
charset.

* Per-client backups file (that summarizes each backup) can be recovered
if corrupted. This is done by storing each backup's metadata to
pc/HOST/nnn/backupInfo.

* BackupPC_sendEmail has new options for sending test emails and
checking if BackupPC is alive (allowing a cron entry to check if
BackupPC is alive).

* New scripts BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary (for recovering corrupted
backups files) and BackupPC_tarPCCopy (for copying the hardlinks in the
PC data directory).
