Hi all,

I've just packaged Obnam, Lars Wirzenius' new B-tree-based backup tool
(think btrfs for backup), whose 1.0 release was recently announced on
Linux Weekly News on Friday, June 1st:

  http://lwn.net/Articles/499845/

It consists of 8 packages, and there are two more (seivot, for
benchmarking, and summain, for generating diff-able file manifests)
that I have not packaged yet, all eight are in Bugzilla, in descending
order (packages at the bottom are depended on by the ones on top)

obnam - An easy, secure backup program
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827810

genbackupdata - A program to generate test data for testing backup
software
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827809

python-larch - Python B-tree library
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827808

python-tracing - Python debug logging helper
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827807

cmdtest - Black-box testing for Unix command line tools
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827806

python-ttystatus - Progress and status updates on terminals for Python
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827805

python-cliapp - Python framework for Unix command line programs
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827804

python-coverage-test-runner - Python module for enforcing code
coverage completeness
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827803

I've so far tested it for local unencrypted backups -- there's a
problem with Obnam's locking mechanism I've emailed Lars about, so
some related test cases are disabled, and it seems that it also
affects going GPG-encrypted backups.

There's a Yum repository for F-17 x86_64 for your testing convenience:

  http://hircus.multics.org/yum-repos/obnam.repo
  http://hircus.multics.org/yum-repos/obnam/

As usual, please reply to the list with which package you want to
review and if you want to swap with any of your own review requests.

Thanks,
