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]

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!

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]
