I'm the goof that wrote the original post. In the end, I wish the package would completely configure itself but some things that might be nice:

1. Add the backuppc user if its not already there.

2. Make a link on one of the start menus that goes to the correct location.

3. Set the correct permissions for all of the backuppc directories (sometimes they get set right and sometime they don't) - One install did not work until I chown/chgrp the data directory (/data/BackupPC)

4. Make sure "perl-suidperl" gets installed (one install did not work because of that)
For example, you don't know what url to put in your browser to get to Backuppc...is it http://localhost/cgi-bin/backuppc/BackupPC_Admin or "http://localhost/cgi-bin/backuppc" or "http://localhost/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin" (depending on the install I have had it go to all sorts of places)?


Thanks for working on it!

Hi there,

I'm answering to an old post from this list (sorry not to answer
correctly, but I had not subscribe to this list before today...).

Original thread can be found here :
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-September/msg03911.html

I've pushed BackupPC 3.0.0 on update-testing repo, since there were a
lot of modifications between 2.1.x and 3.0.0. I've also tried to correct
SELinux issues (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243218).
Version 3.0.0 is also available in FC6 Extras repo and rawhide.

I think I'll put in in F7 stable repo soon, feel free to test it :)

As it seems install with this RPM should be obscure, I'll try to write a
README.fedora. Any suggests would be welcome.

Best regards,
Johan
