sqldumpoptions configuration variable. Thanks to Chris Lamb for his
preliminary patch (Closes: #502966)
. Hide 'mysqladmin ping' output, to prevent confusing the user in
case mysqld is running but the authentication fails, which apparently
does not prevent mysqldump to work.

mysqladmin ping indeed returns 0 when authentication fails.
. Use gzip's --rsyncable option.
. Quote output filenames to support shell meta-characters in
database names.

tools
. mktemp is now required to run backupninja, removed less secure
fall-back if mktemp did not exist on the system
handler changes
dup:
. General cleanup
. Better support for new duplicity (>= 0.4.4) command line syntax:
run remove-older-than when $keep is not set to yes (Closes: #458816),
and run "duplicity cleanup" before any other duplicity command; both
only trigger a warning on failure, since they should not stop backups
from being done. Also migrated full/incremental backup switch to the
new syntax.

option desturl (Closes: #483712, #346040, Trac#2).
. Actually allow to backup only VServers, by relaxing $include test.

into options via remote-schema not already specified (Closes: #424639)

a website to a local folder, based on the rsync handler
maildir:
. fixed bug where maildirs that start with a number were skipped
. make maildir helper look in every subdirectory of the source directory for
maildirs, rather than just looking in the directories [a-zA-Z0-9], thanks
for the patch from chris@cenolan.com (Trac#43).
. make deleted maildirs record the date they were deleted
. add destid_file configuration option to enable you to specify an alternate
ssh public key authentication file (defaulting to /root/.ssh/id_rsa)
pgsql, mysql, svn, sys:

sys:
. update for 2.6 kernels: use /proc/kallsyms instead of /proc/ksyms
(Closes: Trac#39)
. support selection of VServers to run on, in the same way as in the
dup handler, with the new vsnames configuration option ; (Closes: Trac#45)

debconf-get-selections
. fixed catifexec function to actually work, also now passes the arguments
given to catifexec() to the called command (Thanks John Hallam!)
. Added more robust software RAID information capture by running mdadm
-Q --detail /dev/md?* because some people may have empty mdadm.conf files
(Thanks to John Hallam).
trac:

removing the temporary trac backup directories if they fail
makecd
. updated handler for new toolset (genisoimage and wodim)
version 0.9.5 -- December 2, 2007

applied to fix #370396 broke this, especially for configuration files
created with permissions 000 by an older ninjahelper version.

toint function sometimes (Closes: Trac#11)

handler changes
dup:
. Support duplicity >= 0.4.3 invocation syntax (--ssh-command option
is not supported anymore) (Closes: #447425)
. New tmpdir configuration option, very useful in case duplicity tends
to fill up /tmp.
ldap:
. Fixed shell command quoting issues, missing 'then' clauses, cleaned up
compress=yes to be less redundant and not create empty uncompressed
file (Closes: #394935)
. Fixed ninjahelper to properly set compress option, standardized on yes/no
instead of on/off
. Fixed problem that caused combination of slapcat and compress to not work
together (Closes: Trac#29)

. Applied patch from Anarcat that fixes the cp/mkdir calls to not use GNU
coreutils options, as well as some bashisms (Closes: Trac#24)

mysql:
. Fixed case where odd combination of configuration options caused sqldump
backups to get overwritten with an empty file (Closes: #402679)
. Added 'nodata' option to enable you to specify tables that you want to omit
the data from a backup, but still backup the table structure. This is very
useful in cases where tables contain large amounts of cache data. See the
example.mysql for options, thanks Daniel Bonniot (Closes: #408829)
. Enhance code for selecting databases by asking MySQL not to give us the
header (-N), to not draw pretty boxes around the output (-B), send the query
via -e instead of a pipe and ensure MySQL listens to -B. Thanks to
Matthew Palmer (Closes: #452039).
pgsql:
. Support configuring PGSQLUSER for real, and document it a bit; this
broken support actually prevented pgsql handler to work for VServers
(Closes: #396578)
rdiff-backup:
. Added cstream support to allow for bandwidth limiting
. Handle "keep = yes" to disable old backups removal (Closes: #424633)

as in some instances this may be an ok scenario (Closes: #424632)
. Added local destination support to helper (Closes: Trac#4)
. Allow exclude-only configurations (Closes: Trac#21)

. Fix bug when vrootdir is on its own partition (Closes: #395928)
. Better sfdisk error and output handling: should now properly warn
when it does not manage to backup a partition table, and shut up when
it succeeds (Closes: #396632)
. Added option to not use sfdisk at all, useful for vserver/xen instances
that produce warnings about no harddisks found (Closes: #404071)
. Fixed example in example.sys to detail the __star__ in partitionsfile and
note why its necessary (Closes: #409192)

. Make directory where output is placed configurable, and create the parent dir
if it doesn't exist (Closes: Trac#1)
ninjareport

one email. Requires logtail, rsync, configuration of reporthost,
reportdirectory and reportuser in backupninja.conf. Configure cron to
run once a day, and individual backupninjas not to report by email their
status, then enjoy one email report from all hosts, rather than multiple
fixed 'make install' bug that failed if /etc/backup.d already existed
changed spaces to tabs in Makefile.am
updated redhat spec file (thanks Adam Monsen)
version 0.9.4 -- October 6th, 2006

to not work when run from cron.
. Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: #361102)
. Add admingroup option to configuration to allow a group that can
read/write configurations (instead of only allowing root). Checks
and complains about group-readable files only when the group differs
from the one in the configuration file (default is root as before).
Thanks to Martin Krafft for the patch (Closes: #370396).
. When determining which backup actions to make, find now follows
symlinks for $configdirectory
. Changed order of -s to mail for compatibility
. fixed permission stat call so it uses the --format supported by
coreutils (Closes: #382747)
. Added disk space report option (thanks Adam Kosmin)

. $PGSQLUSER is used instead of hardcoding user 'postgres' (although this is the default)
svn:
. Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check
rdiff:
. Symlink and globbing support in include/exclude/vsinclude
clarification: globbing is fully supported again, whereas no attempt
is done to dereference symlinks anymore, due to incompatibilities
between various readlink versions in this field.
. Removed overzealous vsnames check
. Now works if testconnect=no and if $test is not defined.
. add $sshoptions config parameter in [dest] section of config so
connections to ports other than 22 can be made by adding the
following to the top of the handler config:
options = --remote-schema 'ssh -p REMOTE-PORT -C %s rdiff-backup
--server'
dup:
. Symlink and globbing support in include/exclude/vsinclude
clarification: globbing is fully supported again, whereas no attempt
is done to dereference symlinks anymore, due to incompatibilities
between various readlink versions in this field.

. Does not pretend anymore that duplicity can work without
any passphrase

. Enhanced debian package selections to include purged packages (thanks
Tom Hoover)

different versions of mktemp, thanks anarcat
ninjahelper changes
. Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: #361102)

. When determining which backup actions to list, find now follows

install them with appropriate permissions, it's overzealous to check
this at runtime, and is more complicated to do with current
admingroup option.
dup.helper:
. Fix: signing was enabled with symmetric encryption.
changed cron permissions to 644
changed /etc/backup.d permissions to 0770 (for admingroup)
minor documentation fixes
improved RPM build process allowing 'make rpm-package' and 'make
srpm-package' targets, also fixes permissions on man directories,
cleans up RPM-related files during distclean, and adds default
EDITOR for "autogen.sh -f" if none is set. (thanks Robert Napier)
