I'll be happy to have a co-maintainer here.

Does the python module build for you guys?

To build and install version 2.7.9, just make a few edits to the pkgbuild:

(1) Change pkgver to 2.7.9

(2) Change 'sha256sums=...' to 'sha1sums=37749624d56ffe1bacc863067fbb03b5e48f5873' (because I'm lazy and I just copy the SHA1 from the dar sourceforge website).

(3) Probably not necessary, but I remove the '--disable-static' from the configure line, since it's no longer supported.

Hi @DrMartinus, thank you for your input. I'm attaching a quote from dar website. Please report this issue upstream.

From http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/from_sources.html

In option you may also have installed the following tools and libraries: librsync for delta binary

DrMartinus commented on 2022-07-09 14:15 (UTC)

I just installed it (again, after a new setup of my PC), and wanted to run a local incremental backup, and I got an error:

dar: error while loading shared libraries: librsync.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So the librsync library is not optional, even for basic functionality it is required. I'm not sure what "delta binary" means here. I downloaded and installed the package provided from here.

Okay, I tried just ./configure, make, and make install by hand without the help of AUR and I still can't connect to remote repository for performing backups using dar because libcurl is disabled during the compilation time. I do have libcurl in Arch Linux. curl is version 7.79.

GraysonPeddie commented on 2021-10-26 03:39 (UTC)

I would like to see libcurl enabled during the compilation time so that I can connect via sftp to perform a backup.

 $ dar -R ~/ -c sftp://gpeddie@storageserver/home/ldapusers/gpeddie/backups/backup-20211025.bak
Final memory cleanup...
Aborting program. The requested operation needs a feature that has been disabled at compilation time: libcurl library

In PKGBUILD, I would change:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-dar-static --disable-static --disable-upx --disable-build-html ${EXTRA_OPTIONS}

I think the only way to do that will be to compile dar by hand so I can get libcurl support.

I wasn't aware of KDE Ark, but I have tried dargui with spotty results.

nyarna commented on 2021-08-24 12:33 (UTC)

@Aaron-xn There is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dargui and also KDE's Ark can open them if dar is installed.

MarcinWieczorek commented on 2021-08-24 08:35 (UTC)

@Aaron-xn I'm just packaging, please report your ideas upstream. I'm not aware of any gui, I'm using dar on servers.
