Skipped/empty test functions
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp Nov. 6, 2022

Nov. 6, 2022

Hello, I setup my localhost ssh to make all skipped tests run. But there are still 13 skipped tests. I checked and found out that they are simply not implemented. They looking like this: @unittest.skip('Not yet implemented') def test_rsyncPrefix(self): pass That's it. I would like to "transform" those tests to an Issue ticket about "not implemented tests". Just collect all such skipped and empty tests in an issue. And then deleted that code to make unittest run without errors, fails, … [View More]

Docu: Code reference
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp Nov. 6, 2022

Nov. 6, 2022

Hello together, it seems that BIT does use Sphinx. I can see the reStructuredText in the codes docstrings. But I can't find the HTML docu generated from that docstrings. Not sure what the correct term is here for documentation that was generated out of docstrings: "Reference"? Does anyone know if there is such a docu? If not is anyone able to generate such a docu quick and dirty from the current main branch and can send it to me or somewhere else? It doesn't have to go into the official … [View More]

Github contributors with commit rights: Future working model to assure code quality?
by BiT dev Oct. 30, 2022

Oct. 30, 2022

Dear bit-team members, I have received commit right by Germar (THX!) and just pushed my first direct commit (just changing the README file). This brings up the question of how we collaborate in the future to assure code quality. At least I must admit that "night shifts" do not always lead to correct and "error-free" solutions in my code ;-) I suggest: 1. Documentation-only commits can be pushed directly 2. Code changes shall be send via PR to establish a 4-eyes principle ("review"): - … [View More]

... to the "backintime" repo to tag issues that occur on Wayland since I have already seen several bugs with wayland (icon etc.). Used for the first time to tag this issue: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/1349

Travis CI says: Owner bit-team does not have enough credits
by BiT dev Oct. 26, 2022

Oct. 26, 2022

I always wanted to say these words: We push to much ;-) https://app.travis-ci.com/github/bit-team/backintime/requests I don't know the billing schema of Travis CI but perhaps we can reduce the build by focusing on certain branches and events... @Michael: Do you have the login credentials for Travis CI to check this? Or: We find a decicated sponsor...

Definition Of GPU – Features, Specifications, Size & More
by mileseli9＠gmail.com Oct. 25, 2022

Oct. 25, 2022

Definition Of GPU GPU is the acronym for Graphics Processing Unit and represents exactly the coronary heart of a snap shots card, much like the CPU does in a PC. Apart from the heart, your mind is likewise in price of carrying out all of the complex calculations that allow us to enjoy our video games on the display. Usually it is the piece of silicon that had both AMD and NVIDIA or Intel manufacture( in which the transistors are recorded). To put it generally, it's miles the so-called pics card … [View More]

Increase BiT version number now to indicate DEV status?
by BiT dev Oct. 24, 2022

Oct. 24, 2022

Our VERSION file at Github currently indicates "1.3.2" https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/blob/master/VERSION but it differs from the code of git tag "v1.3.2" due to our further development. Also the dev version has still a hard-coded "version 1.3.2": https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/blob/4b09eba80237d64b84a3ed2c4aba1c4… In the CHANGES file we already call the HEAD of master "Upcoming Release" (without any version number). ===================================================… [View More]

Working vagrant file for Arch Linux with a desktop (Xfce, KDE Plasma or Gnome)?
by BiT dev Oct. 22, 2022

Oct. 22, 2022

Has anybody of you a working vagrant file for me to quickly setup Arch with a desktop? I want to check and fix some BiT issues and working on the cmd line ain't no fun for this but neither Plasma nor Xfce will work whatever I try. I can login but get a black screen after seeing a rotating gear for a few seconds. Guest extensions are installed... THX!

Oct. 22, 2022

Hi, everyone! I have some great news :) When this new team got started in June, the backintime repo had roughly: - 430 open Issues, of which there were - 250 unlabelled Issues Over the past ~three weeks, I've managed to whittle this down to: - 310 open Issues, of which there remain - 150 unlabelled Issues We currently have 20 Labels, all of which I created myself. That means that I've "touched" all of the 160 Issues that are currently open and labelled. This has given me a decent overview … [View More]

Add support for parallel BiT installation of OS distro and Github version?
by BiT Oct. 21, 2022

Oct. 21, 2022

The OP of the issue "No BiT icon on Wayland" https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/1244 has raised another issue that I'd like to discuss here: When and wy shall we install into /usr/bin vs /usr/local/bin? @buhtzz already researched the differences (see https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/8658/136851) and the bottom line is: 1. /usr/bin should be used for distro package installations 2. /usr/bin/local should be used for non-distro-packaged installations Our current `make install` … [View More]

Why BIT use complex include/exclude patterns?
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp Oct. 15, 2022

Oct. 15, 2022

I try to understand why BIT does call rsync that way it does. Here is one example: rsync --recursive --times --devices --specials --hard-links --human-readable --links --perms --executability --group --owner --info=progress2 --no-inc-recursive --rsh=ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=240 -o LogLevel=Error -o IdentityFile=/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa -p 22 --delete --delete-excluded -v -i --out-format=BACKINTIME: %i %n%L --chmod=Du+wx --exclude=/tmp/tmpis8vc03n/.local/share/backintime/mnt/1_61639 --… [View More]

How to trigger errors in gui
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp Oct. 15, 2022

Oct. 15, 2022

Hello, it wasn't that easy then I thought. :D I would like to give an error message to the user who is using the GUI. But not from the GUI code but from the cli backend. To be specific: In "snapshots.py::Snapshots.remove()" I want to fire an error and it should be displayed not only in terminal but in the GUI. It doesn't matter if it is a error-message-window or just a error-tooltip in the systray. I tried logger.error('my message') The message appears in the terminal but not in the … [View More]

Improve handling of duplicated issues to keep all affected users informed
by J. A. Oct. 11, 2022

Oct. 11, 2022

Hi all, my current understanding of our issue handling of duplicates in Github is that we 1. add a link to the related issue (or vice verce) 2. close the issue as "duplicate" so that only one survives This has two disadvantages: 1. The OP (original poster) of the duplicated issue will not be informed about the progress of the surviving issue unless the OP posts at least one comment or explicitly subscribes to the surviving issue. This means eg. that the OP would (worst case) not … [View More]

Next Debian freeze at 12. January 2023
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp Oct. 8, 2022

Oct. 8, 2022

Hi Folks, I just realized that the next Debian freeze is terminated at 12th January next year. Freeze means that all packages in that debian repository prepared for the next release are freezed at the current state. Until that date only security and major bug fix are gone make it into the repo. So for BIT this is a good deadline to face the next release fixing the current high priority bugs. According to the rsync-incompatibility-problem (#1247) I see no big problem to fix it until … [View More]

Issue statistic
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp Oct. 3, 2022

Oct. 3, 2022

Hello, I played a bit around with the Github API and build a little statistic about the Back In Time issues. https://codeberg.org/buhtz/spielwiese/src/branch/main/bit.md Maybe this is a nice eye catcher for Germar. :D The migration from Launchpad to Github is taken into account and the creation and closing dates of that Launchpad issues are integrated in the data I used. The creation_date was extracted from the first comment. And the close date was extracted directly from Launchpad. Good night Christian

Preferred docstring style for Sphinx?
by J. A. Oct. 2, 2022

Oct. 2, 2022

Which docstring style do we use in Bit? Google or RST/Sphinx or anything else? See: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/napoleon.html To get rid of all Sphinx warnings like "unexpected indentation" or "definition list ends without a blank line" when I doc-dev/make html if have to use indentations that make the docstrings hard to read in the code. And the Sphinx warnings are also somehow difficult to interpret or solve sometimes...
