Hello,
I would like to share the initiative of packaging the Linux client for different distributions as a nice opportunity to give back to the PBS creators and the community.
I've repackaged the original supported client in native RPM/DEB packages for:
I've proposed upstream the work done here for their adoption in direction to the "Backup clients for other operating systems" roadmap target. If accepted, I'll eliminate the non official repos once re-published. If not accepted, will keep the current scope updated when a new release arrives.
For the time being, find the artifacts at https://github.com/ciroiriarte/pbs-client
Note: I've seen requests for armv7l in the forum. I did my best to build them, but keep in mind there are important drawbacks with it (can't count after year 2038, signed 32-bit, which can't address more than 2GB files). They are there for the time being, but unlikely for upstream to maintain them. Usecase, old Raspberry backing up config files.
I don't have ARM or PowerPC machines at hand to fully test those builds, so feedback is welcome.
