As an update to the announcement, it's been noted in the Fedora users
mailing list that the log file had a change of syntax at 1.3.2 (we
were on 1.3.1) back in 2012 ...

The logfile now has the timestamps in ISO 8601 format rather than
apache-like so if any parsing or logstash tools are being used against
the rsnapshot logs they will need to be updated to account for this

Hi all,

We held this back due to an LVM bug that was found in Fedora and came
under investigation (rsnapshot failed if an lvm:// entry was after the
regular backup entries.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1388209 describes the
bug).

A patch has been backported and tested in the Fedora build.

With this now fixed please be aware we'll be pushing the 1.4.2 update
in roughly a week, with the version currently in epel-testing being
the one due to be pushed.

The updated bodhi links for the version with the LVM fix:

EL5: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-220a6d678c

EL6: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-386a6a5975

EL7: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-3bffdb78dd

Regards,

James
