I've just uploaded a boxbackup package to backports.org. [1] has
instructions how to use it.
Please note about the versioning: The package in debian/etch has
(currently) the version number 0.10-1 (and is built against
glibc2.5). This means that you cannot upgrade from the package you got
from debian.myreseau.org directly, but must manually check/install the
package.
The backport I've built and uploaded to backports.org has the version
number 0.10-1~bpo.1 (and is built against glibc2.3, the one from
etch). This is lower than 0.10-1 to ensure that there is an upgrade path
from etch to lenny.
If anyone finds problems with that packages, or wants to help out with
maintaining them, do not hesitate to contact me!
