Travis CI contributed OSS credits for BiT

Hi, I just got the confirmation from Travis CI Support that they will contribute 25k OSS credits to build and test BiT. Each build will take 10 credits on Linux. When our credits begin running low again, I can reach back to the Support team to gain more credits. Thanks a lot to the friendly people at travis-ci.com Regards, Germar

Skipped/empty test functions
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp 06 Nov '22

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, warnings or skips. Beside that tests I also assume that there is much more untested code.

Docu: Code reference
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp 06 Nov '22

06 Nov '22

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 repo yet. It just would help me a lot to better understand the code and the structure of the project. I have used Sphinx a bit but I'm not quit familiar with it. And I won't touch Sphinx. ;) Btw: I am aware of the separate docu repo: https://github.com/bit-team/doc But it seems to me that this only is kind of a "User manual" and does not reference to the code.

FYI: PR #1353 (Arch Linux build fails) and PR #1355 (invalid ESC sequences and PEP8 warnings) merged into master and tested with SUCCESS
by BiT dev 06 Nov '22

06 Nov '22

I did run our unit tests on HEAD of master (6fc658dd54f139b20f858e5089d0baa860bb8300) on - Manjaro KDE Plasma - Arch KDE Plasma - Arch console-only with success (all unit test succeed). I am in contact with the Arch AUR pkg maintainer "graysky" to retest it (internally only - not as release candidate): https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/backintime#comment-888281 @buhtz > QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2\nQWidget::render: Cannot render with an inactive painter I could NOT reproduce the QPainter output you have mentioned in a comment of #1353 (neither in Arch console-only nor via SSH on Arch console-only - Arch was a fresh VM installation!) so I would ignore this problem until it pops up again or you can hunt it down on your machine.

Issue #988: Why was "new permission handling" was introduced?
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp 04 Nov '22

04 Nov '22

Hey Folks, I do not understand all details of the issue #988 "New permissions handling in 1.2.0 causes re-backup of files that haven't changed" [1] and don't ask for that details here. But does someone know why this "new" method of permissions handling was introduced by Germar? What was the intention behind it? Are there known problems with the "old way" before? Greetings Christian [1] -- <https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/988>

Proposal (RfC): New Github repo for technical documentation?
by BiT dev 04 Nov '22

04 Nov '22

I am just diving deeper into Wayland and would like to create and publish a kind of summary doc as markdown file for us. Do we already have a Github repo for this kind of technical/development documentation? The "doc" repo seems to contain the end user documentation and I wouldn't put dev docs in there. I propose to add a new repo called "tech_docs" (or "dev-docs")... Any ideas/wishes/objections/proposals? PS: The generated API doc (via Sphinx) could also be published in the new repo regularly (eg. for each release). The API doc sources are stored in the common/doc-dev folder in Github (but not the generated API doc itself!).

Request for review and testing: #1351 fix rsync incompatiblity
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp 04 Nov '22

04 Nov '22

Hello folks, I finally create my PR [1] to fix BIT's incompatibility with newer rsync versions [2]. All details can be found in the PR. IMHO it is final and stable. No need to treat it as a "Draft". But because of the possible high consequences and side effects I request you to do your own tests with that code. I still did manual systematic tests with different distros and rsync versions but of course I could have missed something. To do your own testings you have to clone from my fork and use the "fix/rsync1247" branch from it [3].
