Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: backintime@packages.debian.org, jmw@debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:backintime
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package backintime
[ Reason ]
An important (but not earth-shattering) usability bug prevents
off-site backups in newly-created profiles, using SSH.
Thanks to upstream's responsiveness and agility this is a new
upstream release but a relatively targetted fix.
There's a minor related fix to handling exceptions updating
existing profiles, and some cleanup in make-tarball.sh which
is not used in the Debian packaging.
[ Impact ]
Users have to resort to workarounds to get a first backup done
with a new profile.
[ Tests ]
Manual testing and verification upstream and downstream.
[ Risks ]
Low. Small, targetted fix to a reproducible problem.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
